The Shriners Children’s Open Intro

There are two golfer in this week’s field hoping to ride significant waves of red hot form.

On the one hand, there is Korea’s Tom Kim who is looking to make up for a disappointing Presidents Cup by winning this event for a third year running.

Perhaps more interesting is the thrilling rise of America’s own Matt McCarty.

The 26-year-old had been a respectable performer on the second tier Korn Ferry Tour ahead of this year but when he landed a first win at that level in July he suddenly couldn’t stop lifting trophies.

He added a second win in August and a third in September - the latter earning him immediate Battlefield Promotion to the PGA Tour.

And it didn’t take him long to make an impact at the highest level.

In just his second start as a full PGA Tour member he thrashed a first round 62, backed it up with laps of 68-64 to maintain an advantage over the field, and a final round 67 sealed a breakthrough victory that has changed his life and golfing prospects.

Who will take the honors this week? Let’s find out.

TPC Summerlin Course Notes

  • The Bobby Weed-designed layout is a par 71 that plays to 7,255 yards

  • Las Vegas is at altitude so the course plays shorter than the yardage on the card

  • It is a classic desert resort course in style

  • There is bent grass on the greens

  • Scoring is typically low and course form holds up

Favorites to Win the Shriners Children’s Open

Tom Kim (+1200) at BetMGM

The Korean youngster has not only played this tournament twice and won it twice, he has also trod a remarkably similar route to both those triumphs, always carding 62 in the third round and completing the both victories with final laps of 66. He’s not had a great year so he’ll be glad to be back at a favorite spot but will he face big questions after a tempestuous Presidents Cup?

Seamus Power (+2200) at BetMGM

The Irishman ended last season in very solid fashion, rounded off with a top 10 in his final event, the St Jude Championship. Since then he has opened the Fall Series with two 11th places in the last two weeks. This is his sixth start in the event, however, and he is yet to land a top 20.

Beau Hossler (+2800) at BetMGM

The American journeyman thrashed a first round 60 in the Wyndham Championship for a two shot lead in August but couldn’t maintain the pace. He also led at halfway two weeks ago and again failed to finish the job. He’s now a nine-time top three finisher on the PGA and Korn Ferry Tour without yet lifting a trophy. He’s twice finished seventh at Summerlin.

Pendrith Has a Head for Heights

There is one name missing from the trio of favorites above and that’s because he is the number one pick: Canada’s Taylor Pendrith.

He’s 3-for-3 at making the cut at TPC Summerlin and last year he carded two rounds of 65 on his way to third place.

Las Vegas is at altitude and his recent record in thin air is strong.

He was fifth in the Barracuda Championship at Tahoe Mountain in July and 13th in the high quality BMW Championship at Castle Pines in Colorado in August.

He landed his first PGA Tour win in May this year and this is a great opportunity to make it two for the year.

Back him each way with bet365 offering +2500.

Davis Can Rebound in Style

The Aussie Cam Davis was somewhat controversially omitted from the International team in the Presidents Cup and it would be no great surprise if it prompted a good 12 months for him.

He’s already a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, both times at Detroit GC in the Rocket Mortgage Classic, and he can make it three this week.

He’s 5-for-5 at making the weekend in Vegas and in the last two years he’s started to contend.

He was three shots back of the halfway lead in 2022 and in the same position after 54 holes last year when seventh.

Like Pendrith, he played well last time out at altitude - in his case he was fifth at Castle Pines in August. He has aldo finished sixth at Tahoe Mountain in California. 

Back him each way +4000 with BetMGM paying six places.

Ramey a Live Outsider

Chad Ramey has a solid record at altitude in the United States.

He’s played in such conditions 12 times and on nine occasions landed a top 40.

At TPC Summerlin he is 2-for-3 while in recent weeks he has been 13th at Tahoe Mountain and 21st last week at Black Desert.

Back him to land another top 40 at +175 with BetMGM.
