This week the US PGA Tour moves to the mainland from Hawaii to play the Bob Hope Classic in California.
Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Bob Hope Classic.
| # | Player | CLi |
| 1 | Tim Clark | 5.20 |
| 2 | Chad Campbell | 8.85 |
| 3 | Pat Perez | 10.50 |
| 4 | Webb Simpson | 19.40 |
| 5 | Ryan Moore | 19.70 |
| 6 | Ryan Palmer | 20.00 |
| 7 | Bill Lunde | 20.40 |
| 8 | Justin Leonard | 22.00 |
| 9 | Scott Verplank | 22.70 |
| 10 | Charley Hoffman | 24.15 |
| 11 | Martin Laird | 24.40 |
| 12 | Scott Piercy | 24.65 |
| 13 | Vaughn Taylor | 25.45 |
| 14 | Joe Ogilvie | 25.50 |
| 15 | John Merrick | 27.10 |
I am going to stick with the top 3 in the CLi rankings: Clark, Campbell, and Perez. Then I am going to skip over Webb Simpson as he is a little green and I don't know if he will consistently hold up this week. He has played well in this tournament, but I don't know how he will continue to play at this tournament (hmmmm....that is with most things in the future). Then I am going to pick Moore and last week's winner, Ryan Palmer.
Down the list in the CLi rankings, there are several players that also look good which I didn't pick. For example, Justin Leonard and Scott Verplank. However, I will stick with the 5 players that I selected
Below are my 5 picks for the Bob Hope Classic:

Hey John,
ReplyDeleteI will take Campbell, Weir, Moore, Laird and Rose.

John,
ReplyDeleteA little late to make picks, but I would have taken Campbell, Clark, Rose, Leonard, and Weir. Campbell appears to be struggling based on the first round.

Campbell seemed like a good pick. He likes this tournament. Not sure what happened to him in the first round with his 79. Maybe the LaQuinta course jumped up and bit him, like it did to some other pros. Once you have a poor round at the Hope, it is tough to get back into the mix of things. His 64 in the 3rd round helped.
ReplyDeleteWow where was Campbell?
ReplyDeleteIf only Clark would have gone for it in two on the 18th...
Harvey
Re: Clark --- yep, that would have been a nice risk to take (i.e. going for it in 2 on the 18th).
ReplyDeleteRe: Campbell --- if only he didn't have that first round. he was getting better as the tournament went on.
