Burns is in the mix for the final spots on the U.S. team for Marco Simone. A Thursday 66 is a start to proving he should make it.
Vice captain Fred Couples said last month that Young will be in Rome. Few would argue against Rickie Fowler after his great season, and leaving off Brooks Koepka would be bold. If all of that is true, the final spot really comes down to Thomas versus the field — Lucas Glover, Keegan Bradley, Tony Finau, Denny McCarthy, Russell Henley and Burns. . And many project that spot to go to the longtime star Thomas, unless somebody can really turn heads this week in Atlanta.
Nothing to lose, he said, and he played like it. Burns went for pins. He took risks. He rediscovered some of that ball striking to be fifth in strokes gained from approach, setting up five birdies on the day. On the first hole, he was in the rough and maybe 15 yards from three tall pine trees. He grabbed a wedge and lifted it over all three and into the fairway, earning “oohs” and “ahhs” from the crowd.
But between Thomas’ nice effort at Wyndham or Glover’s absurd 43-year-old heater or Burns shooting a course-record 61 last week in Chicago, the discourse around the 12th roster spot has become more about reconciling with the best versions of a player versus their current average form.
“If I make it, great. If I don’t, I get to go home and be home an extra week. Whatever happens, I know the Lord has already planned it out, and I can be good with whatever happens.”“To make it to the Tour Championship and win the , it’s been a pretty solid year. I definitely wish at times I would have played better, but there’s always those times.”“Golf. Pretty simple as that. It’s a hard, hard game. It can really beat you up at times.
