As with the Viking Classic week, I am going to keep it simple this week for the RBC Canadian Open and go with the top 5 in the CLi rankings. All of the players in the top 5 have a CLi figure between 8.20 and 12.80. Then after that, the 6th player's CLi figure jumps up to 16.30.

Below are my 5 picks for the RBC Canadian Open :
