| Maxwell Classic Power Rankings (July 13, 2003) |
| Bryan Abrano |
| David Wright |
| Tim Sheflin |
| Andy Katz |
| Scott Lemke |
| With his win in 2002 and his confidence as high as ever, someone must knock Abrano off his impossibly high, but remarkably unstable horse to take the title in 2003. |
| Wright is as sure a bet to finish in the top five as he is not to win. |
| Sheflin's hopes ride on whether or not he can be incredibly lucky on "The Meadow" or not. When he is lucky, he wins...when he isn't, it's like watching Jack Nicholson slowly go insane in The Shining. |
| Without a win in 2003, Katz may tee off in the 2004 Classic as the second best player in tournament history. His legacy is on the line in 2003. |
| What was more shocking in 2003? The fact that Lemke had the lead through 16? Or his complete collapse on 17? |
| Matt Kane |
| Matt's stock has been soaring during the off-season. No one has ever gained as much respect on pure rumor and speculaton since "The Enigma" in '99. |
| Rob Quist |
| Actually, that's not true. Rob Quist has been living off his reputation for two years. In fact, we're shocked he's rated this high, and it's our list. |
| Jeremy Ciaccia |
| Cashboxes and Jimmy's waitresses behind him, Chiachi seems focused and determined this season. As long as Mike McAllister doesn't show up, it could be a big year for Jeremy. |
| Corey Gelormini |
| Barring a back-nine collapse, which Corey is prone to do, he should win his fourth consecutive Gelormini Cup. |
| Curtis Wright |
| Curtis should finish with his third top ten finish in five years. If he aces another par 4,however, he could end up amongst the leaders. |
| Dick Sheflin |
| A top five finish in 2000 seems decades away for Sheflin, but look for a stronger finish in 2003. Between a strong +5 and a +10 is likely, as most experts believe the leaderboard will be condensed this year. |
| Joel Katz |
| Katz, still smarting from Red's 2002 loss, is likely to play a spoiler's role this year for his team. Look to him to make a significant and positive contribution in Red's quest to raise their second banner. |
| Craig Gelormini |
| A one-time back nine record-holder, Craig needs to decide if he wants to be the Classic equivalent of the 2003 Kansas City Royals or Detroit Tigers. The good news is that there is nowhere to go but up from '02. |
| Mark Allyn |
| Mark has vowed to improve upon last year's 15th place finish. We'll take him at his word, but any better than 14th would constitute a minor miracle. |
| Mike Hursh |
| From second place twice to second to last? Mike needs to get his game back fast if he wants to finish strong this year. |
| Dave Storer |
| The mightly truly have fallen. In 2002, Dave hardly resembled the 1998 champion with an abysmal +11. |
