Sungjae Im, Chad Ramey lead Shriners Children's Open; Sam Burns 1 back on heels of victory

LAS VEGAS -- Sam Burns won the Sanderson Farms Championship last week and is trying to put it behind him. He's playing as though it never ended.

Burns made a pair of 6-foot par putts on the only two greens he missed in regulation and ran off eight birdies in the morning for an 8-under 63 that left him a shot behind Sungjae Im and Chad Ramey on Friday in the Shriners Children's Open.

Not only has Burns won twice in the last six months, he also lost in a playoff at a World Golf Championship and finished one shot out of a playoff at Riviera this year.
