Puerto Rico Open

The week the US PGA Tour breaks into two, with two tournaments playing at the same time. The "big" guys are playing in the Cadillac Championship at Doral, and the "normal" tour guys on the island of Puerto Rico to play the Puerto Rico Open. This post is for the Puerto Open.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Puerto Rico Open.

Since I am late this week with my posts, I am just going to go with the top 5 in the CLi rankings. I did a quick check on their individual records leading up to the tournament and how they have faired in past instances of the tournament and didn't see anything glaring for why I shouldn't go with the top 5. So the top 5 it is. go Kelly, Molder, Quinney, Merrick, and De Jonge.

Below are my 5 picks for the Puerto Rico Open :
