Francesco Molinari never imagined when he left the Mexico Championship on Feb. 23 that his next full tournament would not be until the middle of October. Or that he would be playing the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas to start preparing for the Masters. Stranger still would be the London-based Italian house-hunting in Southern California.

Bryson DeChambeau's first start since winning the U.S. Open is off to a good start. The long hitter, whose physical transformation has been the talk of the TOUR, shot 59 in Wednesday's pro-am for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. DeChambeau's round got off to a relatively slow start. He made birdie on the first hole but was just 3 under par after eight holes. A birdie on the par-5 ninth hole gave him a 4-under 31 on the front nine. He turned it on when he made the turn, making birdie on the first six holes of the back nine before an eagle at the par-5 16th. DeChambeau lipped out a putt on 18 for 58. The longest club he hit into any of the par-5s was a 7-iron. He had just 169 yards into the 16th hole. DeChambeau's career-low round is a 62 in the second round of the 2019 3M Open, where he finished runner-up to Matthew Wolff. DeChambeau got revenge at Winged Foot, where he overtook Wolff with a final-round 67. DeChambeau, Wolff and Cameron Champ are paired together in the first two rounds at TPC Summerlin. The lowest round at TPC Summerlin in competitive play is 60, shot by J.J. Henry in 2013 and Rod Pampling in 2016. DeChambeau has a good history at TPC Summerlin, winning the 2018 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open and finished fourth last year. "I wanted to come back to this tournament because the Shriners have been so great to me for the past couple years. Winning their event and being part of my foundation I felt like I had to come back and support the event. It’s just the right thing to do," DeChambeau said Wednesday. "I love the golf courses here, too." A 59 will only increase his affection for TPC Summerlin.
