Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship

The 2nd leg of the US PGA Tour's FedEx Playoff season will be the Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship. The event begins on Friday and ends on Monday (Labor Day holiday).

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship.

# Player CLi
1 Tiger Woods 2.20
2 Ernie Els 9.05
3 Sergio Garcia 13.05
4 Robert Allenby 16.85
5 Steve Stricker 18.45
6 Ryan Moore 19.35
7 Jason Bohn 20.85
8 Bill Haas 22.15
9 Steve Marino 23.65
10 Brandt Snedeker 24.05
11 John Rollins 24.35
12 Mike Weir 26.15
13 Justin Rose 29.55
14 Phil Mickelson 29.60
15 Chad Campbell 30.45

the top 5 players in the CLi rankings look really good. Woods plays well at the Deutsche. Els has been improving his play of late and had a chance to win going into the final 9 holes last week at the Barclays. Garcia has been playing well, however, he has not converted a win yet. Allenby plays well at the Deutsche and is always a solid pick in any tournament due to his consistent play. Stricker is also playing well, and had a chance to win last week at the Barclays Classic.

Below are my 5 picks for the Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship:
