Cadillac Championship

As mentioned in my earlier post today, the week the US PGA Tour has two tournaments this week. One is the Puerto Rico Open and the other one is the Cadillac Championship at Doral. This post is for the Cadillac Championship.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Cadillac Championship.

# Player CLi 
1 Matt Kuchar  7.70
2 Nick Watney  8.90
3 Alvaro Quiros  10.50
4 Vijay Singh  11.25
5 Aaron Baddeley  12.80
6 Charl Schwartzel  15.20
7 Bill Haas  15.95
8 Martin Kaymer  16.45
9 Tiger Woods  16.55
10 Phil Mickelson  17.75
11 Graeme McDowell  18.50
12 Geoff Ogilvy  19.45
13 Paul Casey  21.00
14 Robert Allenby  21.70
15 Justin Rose  23.15

As mentioned in my Puerto Rico Open post, I am running late with my posts this week....and it had to be a week when there are two posts / two tournaments (oh, well, I am going to let the CLi do it's work :-) ).

As such, my research on the field and the CLi is not detailed. I was able to look through the CLi results quickly, and decided to stick with the top 4. Then I am going to branch down to the 10th place to pick Mickelson. He likes this course...

Below are my 5 picks for the Cadillac Championship :
