Frys.com Open

The US PGA Tour's Fall Season continues this week by heading to California to play the Frys.com Open.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Frys.com Open.

#	Player	CLi
1	Pat Perez	14.8
2	Joe Durant	22.0
3	Tim Clark	24.3
4	Justin Leonard	24.7
5	Webb Simpson	26.5
6	Chris Stroud	26.6
7	Bo Van Pelt	27.1
8	Jonathan Byrd	27.4
9	Jeff Quinney	28.2
10	Charlie Wi	28.6
11	Rocco Mediate	29.7
12	Mathew Goggin	30.2
13	Bill Lunde	31.5
14	Kevin Streelman	32.2
15	Billy Mayfair	32.3

No player has a CLi figure less than 10. This indicates that there are not any clear set of players taht will play well in this tournament. This could be because the tournament is playing at a new location in a different state...moving from Arizona to California. This is exhibited in the CLi configuration with the weights for the past instances of this tournament being less than I normally put on past instances of the tournament.

That said, Perez does have a 7.2 point CLi lead over the next closest player in the CLi rankings. Thus, I am going to pick Perez.

Then I am going to go with the next 3 players in the list as Durant, Clark, and Leonard are playing consistly well.

As for my fifth pick, I am going with Van Pelt. He placed 6th last week at the inaugural instance of the McGladrey Classic. This could imply that he plays better than others on first-time courses. Let's hope that is the case this week with this tournament playing a new course.

Below are my 5 picks for the Frys.com Open :
