2007 Accenture World Golf Championship Match Play: CLi Monday Quarterbacking

Ok, now it is time to look back at how the Golf CLi calculation did with the 2007 Accenture Match Play. Take a look below at the Golf CLi with the players final rankings for the tournament in the "RD6" column.

Rank Player CLi Rd6
1 Tiger Woods 1.50 9
2 Phil Mickelson 7.90 17
3 Henrik Stenson 10.00 1
4 Robert Allenby 11.60 33
5 Retief Goosen 12.50 17
6 David Toms 13.00 9
7 Charles Howell III 15.90 9
8 Nick O'Hern 16.20 5
9 Padraig Harrington 16.40 17
10 Davis Love III 16.50 33
11 Jim Furyk 16.60 17
12 Ernie Els 16.70 33
13 John Rollins 16.80 33
14 Colin Montgomerie 17.90 17
15 Vijay Singh 19.80 17

The glaring result is that the CLi had Henrik Stenson 3rd in the CLi rankings, who won the tournament. That is not bad to have Stenson that far up in the list just behind Woods and Mickelson, who were both 2 of the normal favorites in the tournament. The CLi for Stenson was 10.00. So this means the CLi thought he had a good chance of placing in the top 10. Sure enough, he won.

Looking at the top 10 players in the CLi rankings, the resulting rankings of the players was equal or better for 8 of the 15 players (53%), with 1 of the players in the list winning the tournament.

So the precentage was not all that great, but it was good to have a winner in the list.
