St. Jude Classic

This week the US PGA Tour heads to Nashville for a U.S. Open tournament warm up to play the St. Jude Classic.

Rank Player CLi
1 Justin Leonard 3.10
2 David Toms 7.90
3 Woody Austin 9.90
4 Brian Gay 11.40
5 Fredrik Jacobson 16.25
6 Stephen Ames 17.40
7 Bob Estes 18.30
8 Scott Verplank 18.40
9 Jeff Maggert 18.60
10 Tim Clark 19.00
11 John Senden 19.45
12 Ben Crane 24.55
13 Tim Herron 25.10
14 J.J. Henry 26.85
15 Michael Letzig 27.40

I am going to stick with the top 4 players in the CLi rankings: Leonard, Toms, Austin, and Gay. Then I will skip down to Estes for my 5th pick. Estes is a long shot as he has been off the radar chart for the past several years. However, he has steadily been playing better over the past 12 months. Hopefully, he will take advantage of a course that he plays well on this week to keep his improvement moving forward. If he plays well, then it won't look like I am picking someone from my native state of Texas only because he is from Texas....hmmmm.

Below are my 5 picks for the St. Jude Classic:

  1. Do you know why the Tour Insider is not making picks anymore? Keep up the good work!

  2. Nope, I don't know the exact reason why the US PGA Tour stopped the typical Tour Insider this year. The only reason that I could find was that the author changed (Dave Shedloski moved to Golf Digest; and Helen Ross has taken over the Tour Insider).

    Thanks.
