TST is at the 2015 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas. The par-71 will measure 7,255 yards for the event. 

Headlining the field this week is Rickie Fowler, who’s ranked No. 5 in the Official World Golf Rankings, Jimmy Walker (No. 17) and last week’s winner Emiliano Grillo, who’s coming off his first ever PGA Tour victory. Other notables playing this week include Ollie Schniederjans, Brooks Koepka, Keegan Bradley and Brandt Snedeker.

Last year, Ben Martin finished with two birdies and an eagle in the closing four holes to beat runner-up Kevin Streelman by two strokes. The clutch play down the stretch helped Martin notch his first PGA Tour win.

Some swing videos from today. Not all of them, will be spacing them out throughout the next several days.

Fantastic stuff.  A couple of things that stood out to me:

• There seem to be a lot of guys going down to the wire with their broomsticks.  I saw 4 or 5 in the WITB pics.  Maybe those guys are planning on going the long putter un-anchored route.
• I like Davis Love's USA bag, although not sure where it's from?
• My favorite part:  A PGA TOUR player playing G30 "shovels"!!!!!!!!!!!!  I love it.  When we toured Ping, they had me hit the G30s and I loved them!  Even more than the new i-series clubs.  Obviously, even some (one, at least) really good players feel the same way.

Tiger 2000-esque right here.

I think it's from the 2013 Ryder Cup.

Hey, Chris Riley is playing the same irons as me, Ping G30s.  Not something I would have expected to see in a pro's bag.

Smylie's driver not the latest and greatest, but a throwback club.

TPC Summerlin is in my old backyard growing up.  Our house (my parents) is in The Lakes close to Canyon Gate which also has a golf course.  I remember when we bought our home there, we were the last house to the mountains and when I was a kid I loved model rockets.  Could walk out back and launch those without a care in the world.
