Patrick Cantley will be keen to maintain his good record at the
Shriners Hospital for Children Open.
The year 2021 has seen the American golfer establish himself as one of the top golfers in the world.
Cantlay, who is ranked fourth in the Official World Golf Rankings, has won six times on the PGA Tour as well as the 2021 FedEx Cup.

The 29-year-old has been a consistent performer at the Shriners Hospital for Children Open having finished in the two top positions in three of the last four tournaments.
Cantlay won the tournament in 2017 and it was also his first PGA Tour title as he clinched the trophy on the second extra hole of a three-man playoff.
The highly-rated golfer, who is a former number one golfer in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, won the Tour Championship in September 2021.
This victory won him the FedEx Cup and a $15,000,000 season long bonus and he was voted the PGA Tour Player of the Year.

"Growing up, I felt like I got better and better in golf and life got better and better, and then it got as bad as it could have been," Cantlay reflected on his career after clinching the recent Tour Championship.
"I felt as low as it could have been for a little while. Coming out on the other side of that, I feel like I am a better person having gone through those dark days," he added.
"But it gives me great perspective, and it makes me very grateful to be in the position I'm in, because it wasn't always a sure thing. I was very close to going back to school and putting golf behind me," he added.
"And so, I'm just very grateful to be where I am and I'm so satisfied with all the hard work paying off."
Jim Furyk is the most decorated player in the history of Shriners Hospital for Children Open having won three titles.
