Yeh, and his best ever finish at a major is 20th…..

He needs to turn it on at a major is just a factual statement. He hasn’t figured out how to bring his A game to a major yet. I’m hoping in a big way he does this week

-4 SG putting. That's almost impossibly bad.

Did he par that last hole?

Holy shite he made par

What he has done on the greens the last 2 holes is genuinely pathetic, for nearly any level of golfer who has had days to mess around on these greens

Typical Massachusetts

Turkeys are an endangered species in MA so we aren’t allowed to disturb or harm them.

They are a pain in the arse in Boston. Block roadways and railroad tracks, etc.

Matthew Fitzpatrick has been playing phenomenal golf as of late.

Speaking of Burns, him and Scottie remind a ton of each other in terms of their is rant success, they are best friends, and came on tour right at the same time

But in the majors their performance has been so different. Scottie has 5 top 10 finishes and Burns only cracked the top 20 once. It seems like Burns game should be setup for the majors, but it just hasn’t clicked there yet. I have to imagine it’s coming and it will come in sheets

Burns played like shite for like 9 months in a row after his first win. He's going to be streaky his whole career with his putting.

They showed him off the first tee where he hit in the rough, and his second shot which was really really good because they thought he'd be boned.

Conspiracy confirmed.

His putter is so strange. IHe is 16th in strokes gained putting. Someone that can get that high ion the list should never go as cold as he does at times putting

Right after the first win at Sanderson he couldn't keep his driver on the planet for like 6 months.

He got that figured out and should always be good t2g, when he putts well he wins or almost wins, just like most of the other best players in the world.
