LAS VEGAS - Sung Kang found the missing piece to his game and put everything together Thursday in the Shriners Children’s Open for a 10-under 61 that gave him a two-shot lead after the first round. “Last few weeks I wasn’t driving it very good, but my iron play was pretty sharp and my putting was pretty good,” Kang said. Las Vegas marked the return of six more Ryder Cup players on both teams, and the Europeans seemed to fare well. With his wife expecting their first child, he began the new season in Las Vegas and had to rally with three birdies over his last six holes to salvage a 72. “It starts blowing 15 to 20 (mph), it’s a different animal.”DIVOTSShriners Children’s, which has served as title sponsor in Las Vegas since 2008, has signed a five-year extension that will keep this the Shiners Children’s Open through 2026.
