Power Rankings: Fort Smith Classic

Rank Player   Comment Tommy GAINEY Two Gloves goes for his second win of the season and second in a row after taking the Melwood Prince George's County Open. You have to ride the hot guy right now and Gainey will have a big shot of confidence. Martin PILLER He is fifth on the money list and has bagged a victory this season. He is one of 11 different players to have won. He has missed the last two cuts, but he's too good to keep missing cuts. Jason ENLOE When in doubt, pick a defending champion. Enloe beat Chris Tidland in a playoff to win in Arkansas. He has struggled this year sitting at 97th on the money list, but perhaps with some good memories of last year he can contend this week. Justin HICKS He sits in ninth place on the money list and also has a victory at the BMW Charity Pro-Am in May. He tied for 35th at the Melwood Prince Georges County Open. John DALY Yes, its always a gamble to pick Daly. He will either embrace his chance to play in his home state or he'll not be around for the weekend. So far on the PGA TOUR in 11 starts, Daly, a two-time major champion, has made six cuts with his best finish a tie for 24th.
