RBC Canadian Open

[ Updated with Paul's Picks, 2009-07-22 21:00 PM ]

The US PGA Tour moves north of the border to play the RBC Canadian Open.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the RBC Canadian Open.

#	Player	CLi
1	Anthony Kim	5.20
2	Brandt Snedeker	7.60
3	Bo Van Pelt	15.35
4	John Mallinger	15.95
5	Jerry Kelly	17.45
6	Retief Goosen	19.95
7	Fred Couples	21.10
8	Kevin Streelman	23.95
9	Casey Wittenberg	31.20
10	Robert Garrigus	32.50
11	Camilo Villegas	33.50
12	Kevin Na	34.05
13	Bubba Watson	34.90
14	Ryan Palmer	36.25
15	Greg Chalmers	36.45

I am going to go with the first 3 players in the CLi rankings: Kim, Snedeker, and Van Pelt. Then I am going to skip over Mallinger....even though he plays well at this event. I think the next two players, Kelly and Goosen, are playing well and I want to pick them. Therefore, Mallinger was left out of my picks. My final two picks are Kelly and Goosen.

Below are my 5 picks for the RBC Canadian Open:
