PGA TOUR Winner Sam Burns Pulls A Fast One on Tiger Woods During His Rookie Season

give us give me a sense of maybe what exceeded your expectations you know on the Big Show and maybe some things that you didn't expect yeah I think um you know Scotty and I grew up playing a bunch together we the same age um so we played a lot of junior golf together and kind of like he said you know when I first got out here I didn't really know what to expect um and it all just kind of seemed it just kind of a blur I mean everything just you know you're living by weeks and it's you know you go to the West Coast and floor to swing and and then you're just kind of all over the place and most of these course you've never played yeah I don't know you know I show up and I'm asking you know Russell Hey where's registration Russell's like it's that way duh like no Russell would be a lot nicer than that but uh you know it's just little things like that you get to places now where I've been you know three or four times and I know where to go and it just kind of everything just settle in a little bit easier um what was the second part of your question no what's honestly anywhere you want to go but what are some things that you've over the last few year how did you go from okay I'm out there you had your first time by the way I I did a little reconnaissance on this you played with Tiger Woods you guys were was it third round was the first time you played with tiger Sunday well it was Sunday excuse me it was Sunday and there were eight million people as there always are and Sam gets up there and if he was nervous he didn't show it because you know what he said he turns to tiger and I have this on good information he turns to tiger and he says my gosh I cannot believe this many people have come out to watch me play well I mean in all honesty I just wanted to make him laugh like I was just I was so nervous I was like I just got to say something even if it's stupid like I don't really care so uh yeah I did say that um so but yeah that's uh you know that was also tell what was that like I mean I mean that you've grown up watching him play yeah I think you know for you know guys like us that's you know the the guy we watched um was Tiger and and Stuart of course um we did we did thank you uh thank you um yeah um no but I mean so you know you get an opportunity to play with uh you know your your golf Idol as a kid and um you're just there's so many different things that go through your head and I just remember how nervous I was and I saw him in like you know in the locker room before I was in there washing my hands probably making sure I wasn't about to pass out and I knew he was standing next to me I could just fill it and I was like you do I say something like you know he doesn't know who I am but obviously I know who he is and he like hey uh Hey tiger uh I'm Sam he's like oh yeah yeah yeah we're playing together I'm like mhm and uh it's like we have a mutual friend like David Toms grew up in triport where I'm from and so they knew each other and so I told him that whatever and I remember walking out there I was like oh my gosh this this is going to be rough uh so what anyways we go play and I just you know thank the Lord he he blessed me with a great round that day cuz he beat tiger by the way that day he beat tiger um yeah and honestly that was a you know a great moment for me um you know I didn't have any status at that point I was playing on sponsor exemptions and so you know top 10 to get into the following week which was big and yeah I think you know like Scotty said still you know first few years out here just trying to learn as much as I can um you know I'm incredibly thankful for for these guys uh you not only you know to go to with golf stuff but um to know that they're strong Believers and you know hey man I'm struggling with something in my marriage or I'm struggling with something in my faith like can we talk about it and they're always willing
