T5 showing at St. Jude Championship Burns finished in a share of fifth place at the FedEx St. Jude Championship following a three-under 67 on Sunday.

Impact Burns made two eagles and 22 birdies for the week, but 11 bogeys and a double-bogey was just too much to keep up with some of the top players in front of him.

Burns is now 18th in the FedExCup standings and in good position to make it back to East Lake.
