Dahmen tied for seventh place at the Shriners Children’s Open last year. This year, after the start where he was four over after two holes, he made two more bogeys and one birdie to turn at five-over 40 and was in last place in the 132-man field.

Joel Dahmen sits 131st out of 132 players after the first day of the Shriners Children's Open in Las Vegas on Thursday, but not all of the struggles were due to his play at TPC Summerlin.

Joel Dahmen was penalized four shots Thursday when he discovered an extra 4-iron in his golf bag at the Shriners Children's Open, a big blow for a player who is on the bubble trying to keep his PGA Tour card.
