Sam Burns and Davis Riley, contending at the Valspar Championship, once made a “Birdie Dance” video. And it's glorious.
What do you think?” “Oh, yeah, I’ve known Davis for years,” Burns said. From left to right in the video are Riley, Dalke and Burns. For the first 15 seconds, they get loose, then they let loose; Dalke even breaks out a golf swing. Back in 2014, Burns and Riley were teammates on the U.S. Ryder Cup team. “I feel like this is the kind of video that you sort of tape and it haunts you for the rest of your life,” Whiteley said. The 25-year-olds go back a ways, too.

The 25-year-old PGA Tour rookie made the only triple bogey of the week on No. 5 at Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead Course at the worst time. He had gone 34 holes without a bogey before that hole.
