Valspar

Still, it was easy to predict what Dan Hicks and Paul Azinger might say late on Sunday's NBC broadcast of the Valspar Championship if the 25-year-old PGA Tour ...

With the victory, Burns joined Paul Casey (2018-19) as the only repeat winners in the tournament's history and claimed the $1.404 million first place prize money payout from an overall purse of $7.8 million. Three back of Riley to start the day, Burns got hot with his putter en route to a Sunday 69 and then making the long putt in the playoff to cap the victory. Indeed, Riley was facing a situation he hadn’t been in in his 24 previous tour starts.

The now-10th-ranked player in the world successfully defended his title on the Copperhead course, birdieing the second playoff hole to defeat Davis Riley.

He had two straight birdies to stay in the game and had a chance when Burns took bogey on the 17th. He took a penalty drop, hit long into the rough, chipped long again into the rough and made triple bogey. He made all pars until a 12-foot birdie putt on the 17th. Both made pars on the 18th in the playoff, with Riley saving par from a front bunker. Riley, who steadied himself after a triple bogey on the par-5 fifth hole, hit 5-iron to 6 feet for birdie on the 17th to catch him. Burns capped off his back-to-back wins at Innisbrook with a birdie putt from just outside 30 feet to beat PGA Tour rookie and longtime friend Davis Riley on the second playoff hole.

This year, as he returned to Copperhead as defending champion, Burns remarked that the triple bogey was perhaps one of the best things to happen in his career.

The competition recognizes and awards the most elite in golf. The Corales Puntacana Championship also takes place this week from the Domincan Republic’s Corales Golf Course. Each of the past winners at the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship – including both from when the event was played on the Korn Ferry Tour – are back for another crack at the trophy in paradise. Twins Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard tee it up together for the first time on TOUR, becoming the second set of twins to play a TOUR event. The remaining players will be picked randomly to fill out the bracket. He finished T12, failed to secure PGA TOUR Special Temporary Membership and returned to the Korn Ferry Tour. This year, as he returned to Copperhead as defending champion, Burns remarked that the triple bogey was perhaps one of the best things to happen in his career. A humble, hungry Burns returned to the Korn Ferry Tour, earned his TOUR card through the 2018 Regular Season, and began a steady ascent toward the game’s elite.

Palm Harbor, Fla. – Sam Burns won his third career PGA Tour title on Sunday afternoon at the Valspar Championship as he drained a 32-footer to defeat Davis ...

Burns pulled out the flatstick and played before Riley, who was closer to the hole, but off the green. Both men parred the first playoff hole, No. 18, before they moved over to No. 16 for the second playoff hole. The chip buzzed by the cup by nine feet, but Burns nailed that comebacker bogey putt to maintain his one shot lead.

The win for Burns is his second in a row at this tournament and it was as thrilling a closing act as the PGA Tour has had all season. Burns was flawless for 16 ...

The most impressive part of his showing at Innisbrook was that he finished second in tee to green to J. T. He shot three 67s and a 71 on Friday that ended up being the difference between where he finished and truly getting into contention on Sunday afternoon. Look at it this way: If Thomas doesn't bogey the par-5 11th, which he birdied every other day this week, he's in a playoff with Burns and Riley with a shot for his first win since the 2021 Players Championship. He'll win soon if he keeps hitting it like this, and all the evidence we have of his career is that he's going to continue hitting it like this. T39. Dustin Johnson (-5): After D. J. started strong with a 67 on Thursday, I was excited about his trajectory after that stunning 63 at TPC Sawgrass on Monday at The Players Championship. However, he played the next 54 in just 1 under and fell down the leaderboard to a T39 finish. The good news if you're a D.J. fan is that it was his putter that let him down a bit at Innisbrook, and that's something that he can easily bounce back from next week. It was about his closing putt and how, in the last year, he's gone from perhaps the best player on the PGA Tour without a win to a genuine star, even if he's not yet a household name. After making a triple (on a par 5!) on the front nine on Sunday, he clawed his way back into the mix and made a preposterous birdie on the nearly-200-yard par-3 17th just to get into the playoff. But Burns buried it and unleashed a "we're going to see this at the Ryder Cup at some point in the near future" fist pump on his caddie for his third victory in the last 12 months. T2. Justin Thomas (-16): J. T. led the field in strokes gained from tee to green on the week and had his chances on Sunday. However, he ended the week with his sixth top 10 in his last eight starts instead of his first victory in just over a year. He made multiple par putts between 9-12 feet to keep the momentum running downhill and birdied the holes he was supposed to birdie all while playing with Justin Thomas in the second to last group on the course, just in front of Matthew NeSmith and Riley. On the 17th, he made a mistake when he left his bunker shot short of the green and blew his chip 9 feet past the hole. His fight was nearly as good as swing, and his pedigree tells me we'll be seeing plenty of both in the near and distant future on the PGA Tour. Riley birdied that same hole just after him to knot things up at 17 under and both made par at the last to go to a playoff. A pair of 25-year-olds from SEC schools -- Burns from LSU, Riley from Alabama) --one already a star, the other headed in that direction.

Sam Burns won the PGA Tour's 2022 Valspar Championship on Sunday after a playoff with Davis Riley.

After both players made par at the first playoff, the 18th, they moved on to the 16th, where Burns has experienced both heartache and jubilation. Riley, who closed in 1-over 72, missed a 15-foot birdie at the last to win in regulation. Burns made his lone blemish of the day when he tugged his tee shot into a greenside bunker and had to work hard for bogey at the par-3 17th hole, and one group later his lead was gone as Riley nailed his tee shot to 6 feet and canned the putt. He added a birdie at 11 to keep pace with Burns until the defending champion poured in a 15-foot birdie at 12 to reach 18 under. Riley rebounded by chipping in for birdie from the fringe at 8. One broke out on Sunday after Riley, who shot a bogey-free 9-under 62 in the third round to set the 54-hole tournament scoring record at 18-under 195, ran into trouble at the fifth hole.

Sam Burns withdrew from the Dell Match Play on Monday, one day after becoming a back-to-back winner at the Valspar Championship.
