Burns' 22-under 266 was enough for his 2nd title this fiscal year, after winning last season's Valspar Champion in May. Nick Watney (65) and also Cameron Youthful (68) tied for 2nd at 21 under.
"It hasn't actually embeded in yet. Still looking out there at the golf links like type of trying to identify what happened," said Burns, 25.
What took place was a stretch of four birdies over five openings on the back nine to bring Burns as reduced as 23 under for the tournament. He got to within eight feet for birdie at the 11th, drained a 13-footer at the Par 3 13th, left an eagle putt inches to the right at the Par 5 14th and also had a tap-in birdie at 15. A bogey on Burns' last opening didn't do adequate damage to his benefit over the area.
Burns did his finest not to fret about how the rest of the field was racking up.
"I didn't actually look. I made a comment to Travis (Perkins, his caddie) on the Par 3, 13, can't remember what I stated, however he sort of snapped me back right into it, back right into what we were trying to do," Burns said.
"Therefore he was excellent all week and also just maintaining us in the moment and also keeping us focused on our process."
Burns also birdied 3 holes on the front 9. None of those putts was much longer than six feet, 4 inches, thanks to stellar iron play.
He dedicated the win to his infant nephew, Burns Walker, who is in the health center with spine meningitis.
"He will not remember (the success) because he's only 5 or six weeks old, yet I'll absolutely remember it as well as our family will remember it and also (I'm) simply actually considering my sis as well as her spouse and their family members and what they have actually experienced," Burns stated.
Watney had a bogey-free card with seven birdies, consisting of a 25-foot birdie putt at the 14th and a five-footer at the 15th to make a brief run at Burns.
Sweden's Henrik Norlander discharged the round of the day, an eight-under 64 including an eagle and three birdies on his back 9. He drove the 14th environment-friendly in two and also drained a 40-foot putt for eagle.
His round lifted him into a connection for 4th at 20 under with Hayden Buckley (66 ), Andrew Landry (66) as well as Trey Mullinax (68 ).
PGA Excursion newbie Sahith Theegala held at the very least a share of the lead after each of the initial three rounds. However his final-round 71 led him to a tie for eighth at 19 under with Seth Reeves (69) and also South Korea's Si Woo Kim (66 ).
After playing the front nine 3 under the same level, Theegala bogeyed holes 10, 11 and also 13. "It was a fantastic week," Theegala stated. "I played some really great golf and just a little unfortunate exactly how that type of just how that back nine is. Yet it's my initial one and first time actually being in that placement, so I'm obviously going to find out a lot and also simply take so many positives away."
Séamus Power was the only Irish involved in the event however didn't function over the weekend break after stopping working to make it. A 2nd round 70 on Friday had the Waterford guy on two under, three shots off the mark. It ends a run of 11 made cuts in a row for Power, a document that extended back to last February,
