Children's Miracle Network Classic

This week the US PGA Tour is back in the USA playing the last of the Fall Finish tournament. The Children's Miracle Network Classic is being played in Florida at the Disney World Resort --- where dreams come true.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Children's Miracle Network Classic.

# Player CLi
1 Joe Durant  7.55
2 Charles Howell III  9.80
3 Tom Pernice Jr  13.65
4 Davis Love III  14.10
5 Brian Davis  15.50
6 Justin Leonard  16.05
7 Pat Perez  16.40
8 George McNeill  18.50
9 Chris Stroud  18.80
10 Mark Wilson  21.30
11 John Senden  21.80
12 Cameron Beckman  21.95
13 Tom Lehman  22.25
14 Heath Slocum  22.25
15 Ryan Palmer  23.80

I like the top 4 in the CLi rankings: Durant, Howell III, Pernice, and Love. I actually like the player in the 5th position: Brian Davis. He placed 2nd in the recent tournament in Malaysia. However, I am looking at the 6th player, Justin Leonard, and his record in this tournament and leading up to this tournament. He has played well at Disney, and has played solidly leading up to this tournament. He hasn't placed in the top ten recently, but I could see him push it hard this week to try to end the season on a good note.

Below are my 5 picks for the Children's Miracle Network Classic :
