Emiliano Grillo will be hoping to record his second win of the 2022/23 PGA Tour season by clinching the
Shriners Children's Open title.
What to know about Grillo
The Argentine turned professional in 2011 and earned playing status on the European Tour via Qualifying School, and he finished 10th in his first event, the 2012 Africa Open.
Prior to that, Grillo was a quarter-finalist at the 2008 US Junior Amateur and he got the 2009 Byron Nelson International Junior Golf Award.
The 31-year-old has won four professional tournaments thus far including the 2015 Frys.com Open and 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge.
News
Grillo participated in the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship which was the most recent event on the 2022/23 PGA Tour calendar and he missed the cut.
The San Diego-based golfer is currently placed 35th on the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) and his best OWGR is 23rd.
Why Grillo is among the favourites
Grillo is enjoying his best season since turning professional having won his second PGA Tour tournament in May this year - clinching the Charles Schwab Challenge.
The Resistencia-born star then finished sixth at 2023 The Open Championship and he will be confident of winning the Shriners Children's Open title this weekend.
Quotes
“They say the second is harder than the first and it definitely was,” Grillo said after winning the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge.
“It made everything worth it. The playing, all the hours practicing, the effort from my family.
"It makes you think when you started playing all the emotions come through your head,” Grillo said. “It’s been tough, but it’s worth every second.”
