Sam Burns Heats Up At American Express
11 months agoBefore taking the week off last week, Sam Burns placed sixth at the American Express two weeks ago, and while strokes gained data is largely tough to pinpoint at that event, we do know he gained an impressive 9.9 total strokes in La Quinta. That upside is what we've come to know from Burns, but he can disappear at times as well, as he did in his -0.5 stroke performance in the Sentry at his only other 2024 start thus far. The 27-year-old only has one other start at Pebble Beach in his history, and it was a T39 showing at the 2021 AT&T Pro-Am. It's always dangerous fading Burns, but it doesn't seem like a spot to take a stand yet, especially considering a lofty $8,900 price tag on DraftKings for the Louisiana native.
