LAS VEGAS — Taylor Pendrith took two weeks off after the Presidents Cup and didn't miss a beat, matching his career-low on the PGA Tour with a 10-under 61 that gave him a three-shot lead in the Shriners Children's Open on Thursday.
“Tried to be aggressive and hit a good shot and just didn't catch all of it, and came up short right in the bunker,” Pendrith said. Tom Kim, the two-time defending champion, had to make five birdies over the last 11 holes to scratch out a 69. That leaves him eight shots behind in his bid to become the first player since Steve Stricker at the John Deere Classic to win the same PGA Tour event three straight times.
“I know it’s an important time of year for a lot of guys and I’ve been there for sure,” Pendrith said. “It’s stressful. But it’s a different feeling for me, obviously already locked up for next year. It’s a different feeling I guess out there playing. But I really enjoy this place.”
