Greenbrier Classic

The USA PGA Tour heads to the fame Greenbrier Resort in Virgina to play the inaugural Greenbrier Classic.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Greenbrier Classic .


# Player CLi
1 Carl Pettersson   1.50
2 Charlie Wi  2.50
3 Charley Hoffman  5.50
4 Brendon De Jonge  6.25
5 Jeffrey Overton  7.50
6 Jeff Maggert  7.75
7 Dean Wilson  8.00
8 Garrett Willis  8.50
9 Matt Bettencourt  9.75
10 Greg Chalmers  9.75
11 Matthew Jones  11.25
12 Matt Kuchar  13.50
13 John Merrick  13.50
14 Michael Letzig  14.00
15 Bob Estes  17.50

In looking at this week's top 5 players in the CLi rankings, they look rather good. As well, the CLi did last week with the top 5. Both last week's tournament (RBC Canadian Open) and this tournametn are new courses for the players, which makes the CLi patterns possibly similar between these two tournaments. So I am going to go make it easy on myself and go with the top, and then get back to studying for comps. Enjoy the tournament.

Below are my 5 picks for the Greenbrier Classic :

  1. Hey John,

    I tried to check the CLi information on Fanooz, and it was not there. I check that information each week when I am making my picks. I really appreciate the information information in this blog and on the fanooz website.

    This week, I like Furyk, Kuchar, Overton, Holmes, and Wi. Rooting for Overton since I am a midwest guy from Illinois.

    Hope your studying and classes finished up well.

    Take care,

    Baummer

  2. Baummer,

    Good picks. I can see Furyk playing well on this course at Greenbrier.

    I run the CLi for Fanooz after the tournament starts these days. Am trying to get users to create their own CLi with their account on golfcli.com.

    Re: studying -- thanks for asking. I am actually in the middle of the written portion of comprehensive exams. Finished the first day of questions today. Have a break day tomorrow, and then will have the 2nd day of questions on Friday.
