Sam Burns Looks to Shake Off US Open Letdown at Travelers Championship
It was another close call at a US Open title for Sam Burns, who was the only player to make a real charge on Sunday at Shinnecock when he birdied four of his opening eight holes. He stumbled late with a bogey on 15 and missed another opportunity on 17 that would have landed him in a playoff. Still, it was a great performance throughout the bag, as he ranked third in the field in strokes gained on approach (1.55) and from tee to green (2.28). He'll get his next chance at victory this week in Cromwell, Connecticut at the Travelers Championship, where he finished T17 last year. The 29-year-old should be among the favorites statistically, as he ranks well in par-4 scoring and birdie or better percentage on the season. The issue will be judging his play based on his emotionally draining week on Long Island. For that reason alone, he may be better left on the shelf to avoid his high ownership level incase he doesn't produce.
