I am going to stick with the top 5 in the CLi rankings as I don't have the time to review the players in the list. I need to trust the CLi rankings this week, as I am focusing on studying (comprehensive exams next week.....).  Let's hope that Couples shows some youthful flair this week.

Below are my 5 picks for the RBC Canadian Open:
