Highlights of 2025
Burns lost a play-off to Ryan Fox at the RBC Canadian Open, but almost won the US Open the following week. Burns had the outright lead after rounds 2 and 3 before running into trouble Sunday at Oakmont, shooting 78 to tie for fourth. He was the captain’s choice for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, thanks in part to his six top-10 finishes on the season.
