US Bank Championship in Milwaukee

The true tournament on the US PGA Tour plays second fiddle to the British Open. The British Open is a European Tour event. The US PGA Tour shouldn't try to make it otherwise. This week's US PGA Tour event is the US Bank Championship in Milwaukee.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the US Bank Championship in Milwaukee.

# Player CLi
1 Scott Hoch 8.00
2 Brett Quigley 10.15
3 Jerry Kelly 11.25
4 Jeff Sluman 17.35
5 Kevin Streelman 18.25
6 Chris Riley 19.90
7 Nick O'Hern 21.50
8 George McNeill 23.95
9 Bo Van Pelt 24.65
10 Steve Elkington 26.30
11 Cameron Beckman 28.00
12 Jason Dufner 28.10
13 Dean Wilson 30.05
14 Fred Funk 32.20
15 Nathan Green 32.25

The first player in the list is Hoch. He has been playing well. However, his good finishes have been on the Champions Tour. So I am going to discount that and pass on him this week in this US PGA Tour event. I don't think he can keep up with the younger players in the field.

Then I am going pick the next 3 players: Quigley, Kelly, and Sluman. I will skip Streelman and pick Riley and O'Hern.

Below are my 5 picks for the US Bank Championship in Milwaukee:
