Sam Burns honored his 24th place in the world by beating Jackson thanks to the collapse of Sahith Seegala, leader since day one. After a week marked by his superb second round, Paul Barjon signs an encouraging 39th place.
Best-placed player in the world rankings at the start of the Sanderson Farms Championship (24th), Sam Burns lived up to his rank to win the second tournament of his career on the PGA Tour with a score of -22. The Louisiana golfer accelerated at the end of the day with four birdies on his return course to take sole control of the tournament and afford the luxury of finishing with a bogey to win one stroke ahead of his compatriots Nick Watney and Cameron Young. At 25, Burns moved to the top of the FedEx Cup after two races, alongside Max Homa. On the track where he played his first professional tournament in 2017, the runner-up Abraham Ancer at the WGC-Invitational 2021 succeeds the Spaniard Sergio Garcia, who did not pass the cut.
Twice as nice for @ SamBurns66.

A hole in one for Si Woo Kim
It’s a big comeback to the fore for Nick Watney, 40, who returns to a podium he has been waiting for since 2018, thanks to a putting found and 37 meters of putts taken in the cumulative 72 holes (nobody did better on the greens of the Jackson Country Club this week) . In the lead since day one, the beginner Sahith Theegala was still the leader with nine holes from the end, before stringing together three bogeys in four holes from 10 to 14, including a ball in cruel water at 11. The South Korean Si Woo Kim stood out with a second top 15 in a row lit by a hole on a Sunday on hole number 7, before flirting with the albatross on the small par 4 of 15.
