3Jack PGA Tour Updated Stat Rankings 7.25.11

Here were the top 5 Canadian Open finishers (players that have PGA Tour stats)

......................Drive……Putt……..SG……....DZ
Sean O'Hair……….98……..128……..166……...80
Kris Blanks ………143……..178……..128……..60
Andres Romero….108……..27……..109……...37
Geoff Ogilvy ………113……..42……..80……....93
Woody Austin ……157……..63……..68……....86

The general theme here was that Danger Zone play was the biggest factor at last week's Championship. I think part of that was due to the players not being familiar with the course. While these guys do not have overly impressive Danger Zone rankings, the field was limited coming off the British Open. Also, O'Hair moved up 12 spots in Danger Zone rankings after this tournament, so he must've been flagging it from that distance (175-225 yards) all tournament long. Kinda surprised to see that Andres Romero has not contended more given his putting and Danger Zone play.

O'Hair quit working with his swing instructor, Sean Foley, a few months ago. Up until the Canadian Open he had actually gotten a little worse with his ballstriking. But he moved up quite a bit after this tournament in both Advanced Total Driving and Danger Zone play, so I'm assuming he's starting to click.

Here are my picks for the Greenbrier Classic:

Phil Mickelson
Tommy Gainey
Brandt Snedeker
Andres Romero
Brenden De Jonge

Value Pick: JJ Henry
