AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

This week the US PGA Tour moves to the Monterrey to play the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

# Player CLi
1 Retief Goosen 3.35
2 Dustin Johnson 3.70
3 Mike Weir 6.60
4 Phil Mickelson 8.35
5 Tim Clark 9.20
6 Jim Furyk 11.90
7 Matt Kuchar 14.60
8 Rory Sabbatini 19.30
9 Kevin Sutherland 23.30
10 Luke Donald 25.05
11 Vaughn Taylor 25.60
12 Sean O'Hair 27.50
13 Davis Love III 27.85
14 Marc Leishman 28.40
15 Spencer Levin 30.45

This week's CLi ranking has 5 players with a CLi figure less than 10. This should make it easy and more comfortable to pick those players. However, I am going to skip over last year's champion, Dustin Johnson, so I can pick a Jim Furyk who is further down the list (one spot down the list). Johnson won last year at Pebble Beach, and he played well last week at Riveria. However, I am not sure if he can keep that trend up. As well, I like Furyk this week.

Below are my 5 picks for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am:

  1. John,

    I like Goosen, D. Johnson, Furyk, Weir, and Kuchar this week.

    Think Stricker can make a move to overtake Tiger for No. 1?

  2. As an Illinois alum, I would like to see Stricker make it to #1. But I think Tiger won't let that happen. He will come back to play professional golf before that happens.

  3. Hey Guys,

    I would like to take Mickelson, Donald, Goosen, Weir and my sleeper Ryo Ishikawa - started with two 68s last week.
