Shriners Hospitals for Children Open: Power ranking the top 10 at TPC Summerlin
Home, sweet home. After three consecutive weeks on the road playing on the PGA Tour’s Asian swing, Kevin Na, who is of South Korean descent, returns to his residence in Las Vegas this week.
While he may be tired physically, he’s certainly not tired of TPC Summerlin.
It took years of grinding away, but Na found the winner’s circle for the first time at the 2011 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. He also picked up a T2 at this event in 2015 and has made five of seven cuts overall.
Na is great on the greens wherever he goes (11th last season in strokes gained putting), but he can really run the tables at his home event.
"“It helps a lot because you can trust your line and hit your putt, and obviously you have to putt it on line with a good speed, but to know these greens, it’s a lot of help,” Na said after his win in 2011."
Na won for the first time since 2011 when he took the A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier title in July.
He has five top-10s in 2018.He didn’t play his best in Asia, though he did have a T19 at the CIMB Classic. It’s a busy stretch of golf for Na, but he’s used to playing a lot of events.
