This week the US PGA Tour moves to the east coast to start the Florida swing with the Honda Classic.
Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Honda Classic.
# | Player | CLi |
1 | Ernie Els | 5.35 |
2 | Y.E. Yang | 6.45 |
3 | Rory McIlroy | 10.25 |
4 | Robert Allenby | 10.55 |
5 | Camilo Villegas | 12.45 |
6 | Padraig Harrington | 13.50 |
7 | Tim Clark | 17.50 |
8 | Scott Piercy | 17.75 |
9 | Steve Marino | 19.85 |
10 | Stephen Ames | 22.45 |
11 | John Rollins | 24.65 |
12 | Sergio Garcia | 24.75 |
13 | Paul Goydos | 31.05 |
14 | Mark Wilson | 33.75 |
15 | Spencer Levin | 34.70 |
I am going to pick 5 players from the top 6 in the CLi rankings: Els, Yang, Allenby, Villegas, and Harrington. I skiped over McIlroy, as he is an unknown quantity in this tournament and the other 5 players in the top 6 tend to play well at the Honda. McIlroy could easily play well this week, but the 5 players I picked also have a great chance to play well.
Below are my 5 picks for the Honda Classic:

Below is the top 5 players in the Power Rankings from Rob Bolton:
- Robert Allenby
- Y.E. Yang
- Sergio Garcia
- Ernie Els
- Charles Howell III
Here is a link to Bolton's Power Rankings so that you can read more about his thoughts on his top players in this week's Power Rankings:
Bolton's Power Rankings: Honda Classic
We have 3 players in common this week: Allenby, Yang, and Els.
So far this year my picks have been doing rather well. However, I have lost the first 4 tournaments to Bolton. Hopefully this week I can turn it around.

John,
ReplyDeleteI like Els, McIlroy, Yang, Harrington, and Allenby this week. I also like Garcia this week, but couldn't fit him in my top 5.

What happened with Yang, Allenby, and Garcia this week? They kind of had difficulty in the first round.
