AT&T National

This week the US PGA Tour heads all the way across the country to play the AT&T National.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the AT&T National.


# Player CLi
1 Ben Crane 4.90
2 Jeffrey Overton 5.10
3 Justin Rose 10.90
4 Bryce Molder 11.70
5 Fredrik Jacobson 15.55
6 Cameron Beckman 15.95
7 Pat Perez 17.05
8 Bo Van Pelt 20.45
9 Vijay Singh 21.05
10 Robert Garrigus 21.20
11 Boo Weekley 24.65
12 Chris Riley 26.90
13 Alexander Cejka 27.25
14 Brandt Snedeker 28.20
15 Ryan Moore 28.25

As with last week, I am going to stick with the top 5 in the CLi rankings. Crane, Overton, and Rose all look like good picks for this tournament. They are playing well. Molder and Jacobson are the questions in my mind. However, looking at the details of the results for these two players, the details show that they have a good chance of playing well in this tournament.

Both players played well in the tournament last year...albeit the tournament was played on a different course than this year. Molder placed 4th in last year's tournament and Jacobson played 2nd. Both players have made the cut in the last 4 tournaments they have played in leading up to this tournament. This data makes me feel good to include them in my picks.

Below are my 5 picks for the AT&T National:

We have 2 players in common this week: Crane and Jacobson.

Below are the settings for the CLi calculation I used for the AT&T National (note that these settings are different than my normal settings; the reason is because the tournament is being played on a different course than the course they have played in past instances of this tournament):

Number of Past Tournaments Looking Back
