Sam Burns A Popular Play At The American Express
24 seconds agoComing off a T8 finish at The Sentry at the top of the month, Sam Burns has seemingly picked right back up where he left off in 2024, where he notched two top fives and three top 15s down the closing stretch. He was inside the top 100 in all strokes gained metrics to end the year, most notably finishing 14th in strokes gained putting (+0.496). That stat propelled him to lead the Tour in birdie or better conversion percentage (37.35%), which will be useful at an event known for incredibly low scores. Burns is much more efficient with his wedges than longer irons, making it a good reason why his course history at this event is so solid. At $11,800 on FanDuel, the former LSU Tiger is nearly in "must-play" territory.
