Puerto Rico Open

The US PGA Tour has two tournaments this week: the Cadillac Championship and Puerto Rico Open. This post is for the Puerto Rico Open.

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

#	Player	CLi
1	Kevin Stadler	10.05
2	Stephen Ames	13.45
3	Jeffrey Overton	17.05
4	Martin Flores	23.90
5	Brandt Jobe	25.60
6	Brendon De Jonge	28.55
7	Matthew Every	29.90
8	Kevin Streelman	31.10
9	Dicky Pride	32.45
10	Michael Bradley	34.65

12	Ben Curtis	36.60
13	George McNeill	37.35
14	Briny Baird	37.70
15	Rich Beem	37.80

As with my earlier post for the Cadillac Championship, I am not going to provide much in terms of explanation for my picks as I am late in posting my picks.

None of the players have a CLi less than 10.  So that makes it difficult for the CLi to predict who will win, and that I should spend a lot more time going through the detail stats.  However, I am still going to go with the CLi rankings because of the limited time I have to put this post together....hmmmmm.

Below are my 5 picks for the Puerto Rico Open:
