3Jack Updated PGA Tour Stat Rankings 8.30.11

Let's take a look at the top 5 finishers at the Barclays

Player….................Drive……Putt…...SG……DZ
Dustin Johnson…...12……...155……155……2
Matt Kuchar…........61…….....31…….36……37
Brandt Snedeker…66……......4…….138……29
Vijay Singh…..........82……...126…….48…….31
Jonathan Byrd …..110……...82…….1……...30

Obviously, Danger Zone play ruled the Barclays. It appeared that you had to be a good Danger Zone player along with being good at 1 of the other stats. Dustin Johnson had driving, Kuchar had putting and short game (and was one of my picks to win), Snedeker had putting, Vijay had short game and Byrd has been the best short game player on Tour this year.

Here are this week's picks for the Deutsche Bank Championship

Dustin Johnson
Gary Woodland
Robert Garrigus
Nick Watney
Bubba Watson

Value Pick: Kyle Stanley
