As the TOUR prepares for the fifth (of seven) tournaments this season, prior to taking a seven-week break for the holidays, we head to Las Vegas, Nevada for the 34th SHRINERS Hospitals for Children OPEN, at the par-71 TPC Summerlin, the sole venue for the last eight years and consistently one of the easiest tracks TOUR. Due to altitude, the course does not play to the full 7,255 yards. Birdie fest in store where a 59 might show up (btw Jim Furyk won this twice) with the winning score likely to be over around -20 mark.
Smylie Kaufman is the defending champion, coming from SEVEN strokes back in the final round with a 10-under 61 to beat fellow rookie Kizzire and five other players by a shot (Cameron Tringale, Jason Bohn, Alex Cejka, Kevin Na and 54-hole leader Brett Stegmaier- also a rookie).
TIGER’s first Tour win was at this tournament all of 20 years ago and rookies and first time winners have been commonplace ever since. Past major winners GMAC, Ernie Els and Keegan Bradley feature in the entries along with Davis Love & Vijay Singh against this thin field where an admin error means a field of 144 will go to post rather than the scheduled 132.
Alex Cejka, Charley Hoffman, Ryan Moore, Kevin Na, Scott Piercy and Cameron Tringale all have residences in the area. Butch Harmon / Claude Harmon III are also based locally, hence the entries for Jimmy Walker and Nick Watney plus Lucas Glover, Brookes Koepka, Graeme McDowell and Kyle Stanley who work with Harmon III in Florida.

In 1922 the Shriners founded the first Shriners Hospitals for Children in Shreveport, Louisiana. Since then this unique philanthropy has grown to an extraordinary health system with 22 facilities in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Shriners Hospitals for Children is changing lives every day through innovative pediatric specialty care, world-class research and outstanding medical education. Our hospitals provide advanced care for children with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate.

KOEPKA basically threw this tourney away,shouldve won a gap,reminds me very much of many other US players,just goes for everything even when makes no sense at all.Pampling some clutch putting and a Glover choke got it done...
Koepka hates trophies. Blown numerous chances now both in Europe and on the main stage. Immense talent no doubt but a disaster when in contention.
Very Costly indeed for me,just kept backing thinking in this field would get it done/ cosily, big let down..so little players you can actually pin down and say you trust on back nine sunday,very small bunch indeed.....
WELL DESERVED after his near 59...Go Stralya Go !

Given most punters would have backed koepka (and hardly anyone on pampling) is there any reason to post this?
your constant domination of these golf threads is getting tedious in the extreme.

I think Koepka is a huge talent so I wouldn't give up on him. He didn't have his best stuff but still contended. He reminds me of Dusty bin, huge talent but sometimes struggles to finish off. Can see him being a top five player in the future and contending in Majors regularly.

Other than maybe Rory hard to think of a sloppier golfer than Koepka, guy throws shots away like confetti. Should have won that one at a canter. Will win some on talent alone but needs to tighten up the focus to reach the very top.
Not convinced by Brooks at crunch time. This wasn't the first time he has blown an event he could have won.
Pampling was overpriced all sunday for me he was aeround 20 when one behind early doors. On Sunday he played well and crucially holed the putts when it mattered. Glover is great tee to green but once again his putting cost him.

surely hard to fancy kraft/spaun the way they've started, like colsearts mark II
very dead on here. like talking in a morgue.
anyway patrick cantlay screwed up the 18th in strong winds when the final group was beckoning. course almost unplayable now. a par there and he would have gone into the final round as favourite, seems I'm attracted to backing bottlers, eddie pepperell in the euros as well
funny how all the previews of this said it was going to be a birdie fest. not convinced about beau hossler in the lead so this is still anyones.

Set for a good finish here to this. Not much star power obviously but a few bunched with the risk reward holes to come, should be good.
Foot down Paddy...All the way home boy. Deserve it.
Is Tony Finau the new Matt Kucher?
Nice guy, top 10 finishes, but absolutely no killer instinct.

Cough,splutter, deary ****g me.... Paddy v unlucky there.....hit a road in middle of green ffs.
See that last play by Chiefs? Dallas idiotic beyond belief,zero time left...Fools..
Whee Kim backers had given up 90 minutes ago. Might get a nice surprise when they log in next.
patrick cantlay.fortunately i did lay.he's no charles howell under pressure
How can they be out there playing for so much cash and other things, woeful.....
Hopeless golf.
Hopeless golf.
frames must have made enough laying tonight to retire to stud
Alex choker gotta be a lay if it does go to playoff - how long has he been waiting?!
When Cantlay and Kim missed green at 18 Cejka was one of the biggest prices I've seen for a long time, market seemed very slow to react.
even by pga standards, this is an absolute mugfest.
cantlay still got a chance here which is amazing considering how he mugged off the last few holes.

where's johnnythebull when you need him, lol.
don't fancy the german as think he will be very cold and suddenly the pressure on him.
but hard to fancy the other two the way they limped to the finish.

shows really why tiger was so great in his prime he'd almost always close out winning positions.
These players will be called chokers and they have choked, but it's easier to do that than it is to close it out it would seem. Even the supposedly mentally tough spieth has showed a lot of frailty in the last few years for example.

This is a new low for me...
Shambolic.

First guy to hit a good shot wins. Been a funny old year when -16 wins the US Open and -9 wins in Vegas.

Yes, tbf that was very nice rhino, btw I really enjoyed the OSU smackdown yday 
Hats off to him, stumbled across the line but the first one's never easy. After the crap he's had to deal with in his life got to be happy for the lad.
Yes TB, had a lot of bad stuff happen and even if I'd lost on him I'd be happy for him
I'm exhausted....fair play Paddy in the end, eventually got it done with great par...
Seriously wish had won in normal time.
Grrrrrr

If the scoring's to be believed Si Woo just followed 5 straight birdies with a 9. Routine level par start, nothing to see here.
Think it must be wrong, penalty drop in fairway was one of the shots?
Changed that to drive OB. The three chips look a bit iffy but maybe the head was gone by then.
Shot 9 in the hole
Shot 8 putt 16 ft 6 in., 12 in. to hole
Shot 7 64 ft 6 in. to green, 17 ft 6 in. to hole
Shot 6 4 ft 7 in. to right fairway, 81 ft 10 in. to hole
Shot 5 5 ft 3 in. to right fairway, 86 ft 0 in. to hole
Shot 4 132 yds to right fairway, 86 ft 6 in. to hole
Shot 3 279 yds to right fairway, 142 yds to hole
Shot 2 Penalty
Shot 1 298 yds to unknown, 145 yds to hole

Its the hole with the big run off at the front, comes back 86 ft
impressive si woo
you dont see five birdies in a row then a quintuple bogey more fun than six pars

Ancer must be a better chipper, he got it to 85ft 11 inches
Rickie still the best in the world when he's got no chance of winning.
Poor old Lucas his missus is sharpening the carving knife as we speak !
Bryson the closer...I really really like him,said it before.
Top top player imo. Enjoys the heat,unlike most of these TOP PLAYERS.
Plays to win.
Putting day he wins a gap.

Lucas might just want to book himself into the Premier Inn tonight.
Hasn't taken Bryson long to eclipse Ricky in the wins department.
And 4 since Jordan last won. Game’s moving on fast.
