For the first time in his career, Sam Burns is a top 10 player in the world.
The 25-year-old LSU product displaced Louis Oosthuizen at No. 10 in the first Official World Golf Ranking update of the new year, moving up a spot.
Burns entered last year ranked No. 154 in the world before totaling nine top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour, including his first two career wins, at the Valspar Championship and Sanderson Farms Championship. He also capped 2021 with three straight top-10s.
With no tournaments taking place last week, there was minimal movement. Jon Rahm remained at No.
