Las Vegas, Nevada, and Madrid, Spain, are the two wonderful locations for this week's golfing action - the PGA Tour stages the Shriners Children's Open at TPC Summerlin and the European Tour hosts the Spanish Open at Club de Campo.

Last week saw Sam Burns become the 18-1 winner of the Sanderson Farms Championship after Danny Willett landed a 100-1 success in the Dunhill Links. Burns produced a tee-to-green masterclass throughout and triumphed despite languishing 57th in the putting statistics.

Burns found 63 of 72 greens in regulation. Cameron Young and Nick Watney tied for second place, while halfway pacesetter Will Zalatoris ended up in 14th spot.

Burns tees up again this week in the Shriners, looking to push on from his share of top spot in the FedEx Cup rankings. Joining Burns at TPC Summerlin will be Abraham Ancer, Paul Casey, Harris English, Viktor Hovland, Brooks Koepka, Hideki Matsuyama, Louis Oosthuizen, Patrick Reed, Scottie Scheffler and Webb Simpson.

Willett and Zalatoris are also in Las Vegas. Jon Rahm is emphatically the headline act for the Spanish Open and is set to go off as the shortest-priced favourite of the year.
