Sam Burns made eight birdies on his final 10 holes to wrap up a 6&5 win over Cameron Young in the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. It was the second-largest margin of victory in an 18-hole match in this tournament. Burns won for the fifth time on Tour while it was the sixth runner-up finish for Young in the last 18 months. Rory McIlroy won the third-place match 2&1 over defending champion Scottie Scheffler, who was trying to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the event. Match Play will not be on the Tour schedule in 2024 as it moves toward more elevated events for the top 70 players, a response to the threat of Saudi-funded LIV Golf. …Mackenzie Hughes made it all the way to the quarterfinal stage before losing to Burns, 3&2. Hughes was 2up after three holes before Burns made birdies on three of the next four holes to flip the match. Hughes advanced to the quarterfinals by beating Taylor Montgomery twice within the span of a few hours. First, he beat him 6&4 in a group play match and then, two hours later, faced him in a sudden-death playoff where he won on the first hole with a birdie. …Corey Conners (2-1-0), Nick Taylor (1-2-0), Adam Hadwin (1-2-0), and Adam Svensson (0-2-1) all failed to advance past the group stage. Both Hadwin and Taylor likely needed to make it to the semifinals in order to secure enough world ranking points to earn them an invitation to the Masters. Taylor can still get in with a win at this week’s Valero Texas Open.
PGA TOUR
Matt Wallace made four birdies over his final six holes, then watched as Nicolai Hojgaard missed a 20-foot birdie putt that would have forced a playoff for a one-stroke win at the Corales Puntacana Championship. Wallace, a four-time winner on the European Tour, picked up his first career PGA Tour win. While a Tour win usually guarantees you a Masters invitation, this one doesn’t because it was held opposite the WGC-Match Play event in Texas. However, he does get into the PGA Championship and the Tournament of Champions next year in Hawaii. …Michael Gligic made the weekend cut for just the second time in 15 starts this season. …Taylor Pendrith is a combined +14 in his last three tour starts …Cougar Collins made his PGA Tour debut after Monday qualifying for the event. He missed the weekend cut by one stroke.
