Sam Burns kisses the trophy after winning the Charles Schwab Challenge golf tournament at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, Sunday, May 29, 2022.FORT WORTH – It took one playoff hole and one sliding 38-foot putt on the 18th green to send Sam Burns to an“I honestly thought it was going to be a little bit short when I hit it, and that’s kind of why my reaction was what it was. I thought I left it short,’’ said Burns, who pocketed $1.
It was the final frustration for Scheffler on a day when he did not make a birdie to be beaten with Burns’ bomb.and a four-time winner this season, still had his own birdie putt of 37 feet to send the playoff to a second hole. It finished agonizingly close but, like all his other birdie attempts on this day, did not drop.
Burns, an LSU product now ranked No. 2 in the FedExCup standings, began his final round tied for 17th, seven shots behind Scheffler, but not without hope. One factor in his favor, by teeing off 90 minutes before the leaders, he could play his first nine in less windy conditions. He did just that, birdieing seven of his first 11 holes. He gave himself looks from inside 15 feet on all seven birdies.

It’s tough to get the ball close, especially if you’re not hitting the fairway.’’“I just hung out in player dining for a bit with my family. When Scottie was on 16 I went to the gym and kind of loosened up again for about 15 or 20 minutes and then came back, put my golf shoes on and then went out and hit a few putts and hit some golf balls.
