Crowne Plaza Invitational

This week is the US PGA Tour moves just down the road from last week's course (the Las Colinas resort in Irving) to play the Crowne Plaza Invitational in Fort Worth (I will be visiting there in 2 weeks).

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Crowne Plaza Invitational.

# Player CLi 
1 Zach Johnson 6.80
2 David Toms 12.95
3 Matt Kuchar 14.45
4 Rickie Fowler 15.05
5 Geoff Ogilivy 15.05
6 Jim Furyk 15.50
7 Brian Davis 15.75
8 Kevin Na 18.45
9 Charlie Wi 24.60
10 Corey Pavin 26.60
11 Boo Weekley 27.40
12 Graham Delaet 29.45
13 Pat Perez 30.40
14 Jeffrey Overton 30.45
15 Ryan Palmer 31.40


I am not able to get the details of each player's results as the Golf CLi site is flaking out (due to the hosting company, ugh!!! -- and yes, I paid the bills; they are just a bad hosting company. shame on me for picking them).  So I am not able to use the details of each of the player's CLi compilation to make my picks.  Thus, I am going to just eyeball the players to pick my players this week, which means I will not be providing reasons for why I picked the players or didn't pick a player.

Below are my 5 picks for the Crowne Plaza Invitational:
