Sam Burns: Top-5 finish at the Memorial

Rotowire6 days ago

Burns posted a 10-under cumulative score at the Memorial Tournament to finish tied for fourth with Tommy Fleetwood.

Analysis:

Burns found himself tied atop the leaderboard following his birdie on the par-5 15th, but he slipped back to a share of fourth after a bogey on the par-4 17th. It was still the best performance of the season from Burns and best finish since his T4 at the 2025 BMW Championship. His five bogeys were the least amount in the field at Muirfield and he finished the tournament second in both scrambling and GIR, fifth in SG: Approach, seventh in SG: Putting, T10 in driving distance and in the top-20 in both driving accuracy and SG: Around-the-Green. Burns is listed in the field for the RBC Canadian Open next week, where he lost in a four-hole playoff to Ryan Fox last year.
