Shriners Children’s Open

Welcome to the month of October, Golf Grinders! The PGA Tour heads to Las Vegas this week for the annual Shriners Children’s Open. This is one of the few events that hasn’t seen a major change in its spot on the calendar over the last few seasons, as this is an event that is almost always contested in the October/November time frame. The host course this week will be TPC Summerlin, a venue that has hosted this event every year since 2008. As we see with many regular PGA Tour stops these days, TPC Summerlin is a course that often yields favorable scoring conditions. Outside of one year where high winds were a major factor, every edition of this event since 2008 has seen a winning score of -16 or better. In keeping with tradition, Kevin Na won here two years ago with a score of -23. Martin Laird won last year in a three way playoff at the same total, and the cut line came in at a record SEVEN under par. Birdies, birdies, more birdies, and some eagles will be the name of the game here. Getting all your golfers through the cut line is of prime importance.
