Sam Burns, his back to the camera, hugs his father as he celebrates with his family on the 18th green after winning his first US PGA title at the Valspar Championship. MIAMI: Sam Burns outdueled fellow American Keegan Bradley over the back nine on Sunday to win the Valspar Championship and capture his first US PGA Tour title.
"Coming down the back nine, Travis and I just tried to stick to our process. In the past, I got away from that. Today I was focused on that."Bradley, the 135th-ranked winner of the 2011 PGA Championship, missed a chance for his fifth US PGA victory and first since the 2018 BMW Championship."I just didn't hit the shots I needed coming down the end, but I'm proud of the way I finished off to come in solo second," Bradley said.
Bradley plunked his tee shot into the water at the par-3 13th on the way to a double bogey while Burns sank a testy eight-foot par putt to seize a two-stroke lead. A closing bogey kept Burns from matching the 72-hole tournament record of 18-under 266 set by Fiji's Vijay Singh in his 2004 triumph.Bradley and Burns matched the 54-hole course record to put themselves in Sunday's final pairing and the title chase was basically a two-man fight.
