Who to watch for at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals
Best Bets:
Zach Johnson
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T10 |
Guess he is at the top of the list of everyone, playing the best after a good run at the FedEx Cup playoffs and did finish T10th the only time he has played at Summerlin.
Hideki Matsuyama
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Finished T3rd last week you have to think he will be knocking on the door again and will take the experience and play well this week.
Nick Watney
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T10 | 2 | T6 | CUT | T36 | T59 | CUT | T6 |
Finished well in the playoffs, has some good moments in this event including T10th last year, 2nd in 2011 and T6th in 2010.
Best of the rest:
Webb Simpson
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T4 | CUT |
Played well at the Tour Championship finishing 4th, he also finished T4th in his last start here in 2010 so watch him.
Brooks Koepka
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Have to think that he learned so much last week in coming close to a win. I feel that he will be a member of the PGA Tour by January, a win this week would make him a member this week.
Graham DeLaet
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T18 |
Finished T18th here in 2010, played well during the playoffs so he comes into this week on a high.
Kevin Na

Solid contenders

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T6 | T10 | T28 | T14 | CUT | T44 | T58 |
Another of those with good memories of Summerlin, was T6th last year and T10th in 2011. We should also not forget that he was T5th in the PGA Championship.
Vijay Singh
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T36 |
Can’t forget him after playing so well last week. Still the question mark will be, last week was a shotmaker course, this week it’s about making a lot of putts and birdies, can Vijay still make a lot of birdies?
Jimmy Walker
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Can’t forget about last weeks winner, he was T10th at this event last year and does make a lot of birdies.
Robert Garrigus

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T22 | T16 | T58 | T47 | T36 | T3 | T75 |
Seems to have made lot’s of cuts, was T3rd at this event in 2007.
Long shots that could come through:
Spencer Levin
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T5 | T4 | T54 |
Good record in this event with two top-fives in three starts, was T12th at Frys so watch him.
Brian Harman
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Yes he missed the cut last year but was T7th at the Frys and T3rd at the Wyndham.
Richard H. Lee
2012 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 | ’05 | ’04 | ’03 | ’02 | ’01 |
