Tom Kim enters this week's Shriners Children’s Open as the field's highest-ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking (No. 25). And Kim something else working in his favor — he seeks to become the first player since Steve Stricker in 2011 to win the same tournament three times in a row. Stricker won the John Deere Classic in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
