At one point on Sunday, Sam Burns was seven strokes off the lead in the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge.
On the other hand, 2022 Masters winner Scottie Scheffler had it going big time and looked to secure fourth victory of the season.
That’s when everything changed. Burns would end up shooting five under par on Sunday as Scheffler found himself two over. While the biggest story from the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, was Harold Varner III’s epic meltdown, Burns made headlines himself.
The 25-year-old LSU product forced a one-hole playoff after hitting par on each of his final six holes. With the playoff taking place on the par-4 18, Burns hit an awe-inspiring putt for a birdie and the win. It was a scene.
A 38-footer for the win? What a shot from Burns to come away with his third victory of the season.
Burns opened the season wth a win at the Sanderson Farms Championship last fall. He also won the Valspar Championship back in March.
