Making putts is the thing Yu did best in Mississippi. He ranked second in strokes gained/putting, bettering the field average by nearly nine shots while averaging 108 feet of putts made per round, also topping the field in that stat.
The powerlines near the tee on the ninth hole at the Country Club of Jackson struck again. They got Sam Burns last year, but in the second round at the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship, they didn’t lay a glove on Australian Harrison Endycott.
The Canadian excelled from just off the green, getting up and down a remarkable 22 of 24 times for a 91.67 percentage – easily the best in the field for the week.
While all eyes were elsewhere on welcoming the latest young gun to the sport, Sam Burns quietly and confidently captured the Sanderson Farms Championship.
