Expected cut lineNo cut (36 holes)After 36 holes

Strength of field

The field typically includes UNLV golf team members, former college players, and top regional amateurs, with past champions including Rebels standout Justin Chong who posted back-to-back 70s to win in 2017.

Course expectations

Serket's three distinct landscapes—six holes through steep canyons, six on a plateau overlooking the Strip, and six in a broad desert mountain range—demand accuracy off the tee and deft touch on severely sloped greens that are notoriously difficult to read and lightning-fast downhill.

Weather risk

Mid-August temperatures in Henderson typically exceed 100°F, demanding early tee times, aggressive hydration, and sun protection for the 36-hole grind.
