Apr 6, 2026, 9:31 PM ET

Sam Burns finished tied for 21st at the Texas Children's Houston Open last month and will now turn his focus to preparing for this week's Masters Tournament at Augusta National in Augusta, Georgia. Burns has three missed cuts and three top-25 finishes in seven starts this season. He finished tied for 46th at last year's Masters Tournament and missed the cut in 2024. Over the past 12 months, Burns ranks in the 69th percentile in proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is important because over 38% of approach shots came from this distance at last year's Masters Tournament.--Ian Christenson - RotoBaller
