“I’ve lost three playoffs. This is my first playoff win. I kept telling myself this is the playoff I’m going to win.”
– Kevin Na
Location & Course Information
Las Vegas, Nev.
TPC Summerlinn
Noted architect Bobby Weed designed TPC Summerlin with player consultant Fuzzy Zoeller in 1991. The strategic layout was carved from a swath of rugged desert terrain, meandering through arroyos and canyons.
Yardage: 7,255; par 71
Notable Course Features
The four-hole closing stretch features classic risk-reward challenges starting with the drivable par-4 15th. The par-5 16th is reachable in two, guarded in front by a pond. While the last two holes don’t offer as many birdie opportunities, water is very much in play on the par-3 17th and par-4 18th.
