Sam Burns delivered a miraculous Sunday performance at the Canadian Open, firing an eight-under 62 to force a playoff with Ryan Fox. Although he fell just short of the win, it marked his sixth straight top-30 finish and gives him plenty of momentum heading into this week's U.S. Open, where he finished T9 last year. Success at Oakmont Country Club, one of the toughest tests in golf, will hinge on tee-to-green play, driving accuracy, and approach shots from the rough. Burns ranks 132nd in strokes gained from tee to green (minus-0.221 per round), 84th in driving accuracy, and sits in the 39th percentile in greens in regulation from over 150 yards out of the rough. Where he separates himself is on the greens, leading the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting per round (plus-1.056). Given the speed and difficulty of Oakmont's greens and the form he's shown, Burns profiles as a solid option for both DFS players and bettors this week.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller
