Sam Burns is living in the now and the future

It is hard to keep Augusta out of mind. The PGA Tour has made it to the Texas swing following all sorts of fun in Florida. Cameron Young won the most coveted title at the Players Championship, but all sorts of players made strides as the first major championship of the year approaches.

The first major championship. That’s a small way of saying the Masters. No big deal.

Sam Burns is living in the now and the present All events on the PGA Tour season matter. When it comes time for Tour Championship time its players look back at every event as their full and total resume. But it can be difficult to focus on the moment when one of a Masters ilk lurks around the corner.

It is human nature to let your eyes wander to the greatest tournament that golf has to offer, but you have to take care of business that is in front of you first. This juxtaposition fascinates me and I was curious how one of the best golfers in the world handles it. Sam Burns held a meet and greet at Raising Cane’s in Houston ahead of this week’s Texas Children’s Open, he even hopped behind the counter to take some orders, and I was able to ask him for his thoughts on the subject.
