Impact Burns was making his tournament debut at this week's match play event but that didn't show during his tournament run, which began with him going 3-0 during the group stage. He had an impressive 2 & 1 victory in the Round of 16 over Patrick Cantlay and followed it up with a 3 & 2 quarterfinal win over Mackenzie Hughes. Perhaps his most impressive feat was defeating defending champion Scottie Scheffler in the semis in 21 holes, before carding eight birdies en route to a dominating performance over Young. Burns has shown an impressive ability to win in his short PGA Tour career, as the victory is already his fifth in a two-year span.
