Stats don’t lie (usually), and when you average 310 off the tee, are 11th on Tour in Strokes Gained Approaching the Green, and top 10 in Strokes Gained Putting you are going to win a lot of money and put yourself in position to win with some regularity. Burns shines because unlike other excellent players with great stats he wins more often when he has a chance, three times already this year. He is a strong looking athlete at 6’1” and 185 lbs., and his swing is good enough to want to copy, utilizing the OTTFTI method of outward hand path and shallowing shaft with left wrist flexion and left forearm supination to produce great looking impact alignments. His takeaway exhibits an “early set” of the wrists, preferring to start the clubhead moving with his hands as opposed to a more upper trunk oriented “one piece” type start where the wrists set more gradually and the look at P2 is more extended away from the body. He widens from P2 to P4, and his top of the swing look is exemplary, with the shaft right on plane and the left wrist neutral/flat.
