PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) — Sam Burns has successfully defended his Valspar Championship title.
Burns holed a birdie putt from just over 30 feet on the 16th hole to beat Davis Riley on the second playoff hole, giving him three PGA Tour victories in his last 22 starts. Burns fired a 2-under 69 on Sunday to finish 17 under.
The victory moves Burns to No. 10 in the world for the first time, knocking Dustin Johnson out of the top 10 for the first time in seven years.
