Former LSU golfer Sam Burns, currently ranked 11th in the world by the World Golf Ranking, makes his Masters debut thanks to winning the 2021 Valspar Championship (he also won this year’s Valspar).
“I’m really excited to be here,” Burns said Tuesday. “This is such a special place. Obviously, just the history of this place and The Masters tournament. I’m really grateful for this opportunity.
“I came in about a month ago to kind of just see this course. I came with my dad which was special. We were both blown away by the property in general.
