Sam Burns to Bounce Back at Truist Championship
It was a quiet week on the greens for Sam Burns at Doral, as gaining at least four strokes putting seems to be the only way he can find himself on the first page of leaderboards, despite having decent ball-striking metrics. He'll have a chance to rectify his flat stick woes this week in Charlotte, where he has finished inside the top-20 in his last two events played at Quail Hollow. The former LSU Tiger has all the length needed, but the real concern lies with his long iron play, as he is middle of the pack in terms of strokes gained per shot from 200 yards or more (-0.002). However, that hasn't prevented him from scoring at other venues similar in approach lengths. Burns has shown comfort on these greens in the past, so look for last week's struggle to be a blip on the radar.
