Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial

This week the US PGA Tour stays in Texas for a 3rd straight week, moving from Dallas to Fort Worth to play the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

#	Player	CLi
1	Phil Mickelson	2.80
2	Jeffrey Overton	8.15
3	Jason Day	8.30
4	Tim Clark	10.20
5	Ben Crane	10.35
6	Jim Furyk	20.40
7	Corey Pavin	22.75
8	Matt Kuchar	23.60
9	Bo Van Pelt	23.65
10	Fredrik Jacobson	25.90
11	Scott Verplank	26.95
12	Brian Gay	27.40
13	Kenny Perry	27.60
14	Steve Marino	29.75
15	Heath Slocum	30.35

This week, there is a clear 5 players that are the favorite based upon the CLi figures and rankings. Mickelson, Overton, Day, Clark, and Crane all have CLi figures that are 10.x or below. Then the next player after Crane has a CLi figure 10 points above Crane's CLi figure. That seems like a clear delineation between the top 5 players and the next 10 players in the list shown above. So I am going to stick with the top 5 in the CLi rankings.

Below are my 5 picks for the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial:
