Valero Texas Open

This week the US PGA Tour heads to San Antonio, Texas to play the Valero Texas Open.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Valero Texas Open.

# Player CLi
1 Fredrik Jacobson 11.10
2 Bo Van Pelt 18.25
3 Kris Blanks 23.00
4 J.J. Henry 24.60
5 Chris Stroud 27.90
6 Aron Price 28.80
7 Charley Hoffman 31.85
8 Zach Johnson 34.05
9 Mathias Gronberg 35.90
10 Matthew Jones 36.05
11 Justin Leonard 36.80
12 Shaun Micheel 38.55
13 Tom Pernice Jr 39.60
14 Dean Wilson 41.50
15 Chris Riley 42.85

This week I am going to go with Jacobsen, Van Pelt, Henry, Stroud, and Hoffman. I skipped over Blanks and Price. Even though they have played well in their last two tournaments, their lack of experience in this tournament leaves me a little hesitant in picking them.

Below are my 5 picks for the Valero Texas Open:
