2024 Shriners Children's Open: Dark Horse - Ryan Moore

Steve Elkington’s dark horse pick for the Shriners Children’s Open is Ryan Moore, highlighting Moore’s deep ties to Las Vegas as a former UNLV player, local resident, and 2012 champion of this event. Moore’s recent tournament history at TPC Summerlin is strong in the past 5 years, including finishes of T13, T28, and T13 across recent appearances. Statistically, Moore has averaged +0.439 SG: Approach, +0.968 SG: Putting, and +1.419 SG: Total over his last 14 rounds at the event. This combination of local knowledge and past success makes him a compelling under-the-radar contender.
