Burns finished in a share of fifth place at the FedEx St. Jude Championship following a three-under 67 on Sunday.
Burns made two eagles and 22 birdies for the week, but 11 bogeys and a double-bogey was just too much to keep up with some of the top players in front of him. Burns was second in SG: Putting, but 53rd in SG: Off-the-Tee. If he wants to get back in the win column, his ball-striking needs to be just a little more consistent. Burns is now 18th in the FedExCup standings and in good position to make it back to East Lake.
Burns shot a two-under 69 in the final round of the 3M Open to finish in a tie for 12th place.
Burns made 24 birdies for the week which was second-best in the field. The bad news was that he also had a triple and quadruple-bogey on the card this week. Turn those both into bogeys and he would have been right there challenging for the win at the end. Burns continues to putt great, but just needs to be a little better with the irons if he wants to get back in the win column before the season ends.
