Mayakoba Classic

This posting is for one of tournaments being held by the US PGA Tour this week: Mayakoba Classic in Mexico. The other tournament being held this week is the Accenture Match Play Championship.

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

#	Player	CLi
1	Brian Gay	3.30
2	Fred Funk	7.05
3	J.J. Henry	13.00
4	John Cook	14.20
5	David Toms	14.50
6	Jerry Kelly	18.30
7	John Merrick	20.30
8	Boo Weekley	20.70
9	Charles Howell III	20.75
10	Tom Pernice Jr	20.90
11	Tom Lehman	22.25
12	Spencer Levin	24.50
13	Cameron Beckman	26.70
14	Charles Warren	30.35
15	Joe Ogilvie	33.05

For this tournament, since there are competing tournaments being played at the same time (Accenture Match Play Championship), there are players in the field that normally would not be playing on this circuit. So you see the likes of Funk, Cook, and Lehman in the CLi rankings. Their CLi rankings are high because they have been playing well on the Champions Tour and that breeds confidence....thus they are high in the CLi rankings this week. So they could play well this week. However, I am going to pass on the veterans to pick younger players and go with the next highest 5 players in the CLi.

Below are my 5 picks for the Mayakoba Classic :
