How Player Rankings are Computed
Who to watch for at the FedEx St. Jude Classic
Best Bets:
Dustin Johnson
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T24 | T10 | Win |
He can overpower course with his length and is in the middle of greens hit with a 96th place ranking. More importantly he is ready to win again after finishing T-8th at the Nelson and T-13th at the Memorial. More importantly his record at Southwind, in 12 appearances he won in 2012 and in 12 rounds has been under par in 9 of them. One more item is the Lee Westwood fracture, that is for players that tend to win a week before the major and have nothing left for the major the following week. Think that Johnson is the type to win before a major and not have anything left in the tank.
Billy Horschel
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T6 | T10 | T72 | CUT | CUT |
Played well last two years, ranks 15th in greens hit this year. But what I like is the fact that he plays well in the summer and his game is heating up in his last two starts was T13th at the Players and T11th at Memorial.
Camilo Villegas
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T11 | T10 | CUT | T3 | T8 | T29 | T18 | T46 | T16 |
Guy Plays well at southwind with four top-11st in last five years including a T3rd in 2011.
Best of the rest:
Webb Simpson
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T3 | T29 | CUT | T64 |
Has all the right stats, 19th in greens hit for 2015 and 32nd in fairways hit. Was T3rd last year he could be the guy this week.
Ryan Palmer
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T32 | 4 | T3 | CUT | CUT | CUT | T10 |
Top 4s 2 of last 3 starts, can overpower course, ranks 35th in ball striking. It’s getting close to time for him to win.
Brooks Koepka
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T19 |
Just feel it’s getting time for him to contend, this is a course a lot like Phoenix were he won so watch him this week.
Carl Pettersson
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T3 | T8 | CUT | T24 | CUT |
Here is someone that you least expect to win that could this week. Plays well on this type of course and hasn’t done much this year.
Solid contenders
Phil Mickelson
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T11 | T2 | T59 |
Has done well the last two times he has played here. Think he is really looking to do anything possible to get his game ready for Chambers Bay so look for good results this week. He also isn’t worried about winning this week and having enough in the tank for the following week, twice already has won the week before winning a major.
Harris English
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | Win |
Past champion, T-33rd in greens hit this year, his game is at the right place right now to do well.
Boo Weekley
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T46 | T27 | T27 | T32 | T53 | CUT | T4 | CUT |
This is his type of course, hasn’t done well in the past but that could change this week.
Nick Watney
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Hard to believe that he is playing for the first time in this event, course should be good for him.
Long shots that could come through:
Luke Donald
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Gosh have no idea what is up with this guy. Like Tiger at one time Donald ruled golf by winning the money race on both the PGA Tour and European Tour in 2011, now struggling with his game. Playing in this event for the first time, could be a great place for him.
Shawn Stefani
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T63 | T7 |
Finished T-7th in 2013, playing solid of late.
Patrick Rodgers
2015 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
He did the deed and got his tour card barley, look for him to show off his game now that he is a PGA Tour member.
