Winner downs world No 1 Scottie Scheffler
Sam Burns took 21 holes to defeat World No 1 Scottie Scheffler in the semifinals before cruising to a 6 and 5 victory over Cameron Young to win the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play title on Sunday in Austin, Texas.
“I’m so tired,” the 26-year-old Burns said. “Yeah, it was fun playing Cam today. I know he didn’t have his best stuff, but it was a great match. I mean, I feel like I got off to kind of a — not a great start, but felt like I kind of found something at the end of my match this morning with Scottie, and I was able to carry that on this afternoon.”
After both players birdied the first playoff hole and parred the second, Burns’ drive at the third playoff hole found a fairway bunker. But he recovered by sticking his next shot 15 feet away from the pin, and his birdie 3 bested Scheffler’s par 4.
