Sam Burns Thursday Interview 2024 Fedex St Jude Championship © PGA Tour

s how would you kind of characterize the round today uh I I think I played solid um made one poor swing really on the part three um and then just kind of misjudged a lie just in the rough on the next hole um really it I mean overall played pretty solid it's nice to finish with a birdie there on 18 uh it's just a golf course that if you're just a little bit off it's pretty difficult so yeah overall solid solid round what's the most challenging I you're from Louisiana you're used to the heat but what's the most challenging thing playing in uh this type of heat I mean I feel like nothing really for me other than just trying to keep everything dry making sure your hands are dry before you hit um but I mean it's been like this at home for as long as I can remember the last few weeks so pretty used to it at this point I don't walk at home though so that's a little different so is is the heat taxing on you do affect you at all I mean I think it can I think you have to try to make sure that you know you're not really I think there's if you think about the heat a lot and you you talk about how hot it is then you kind of start believing that um I think it's one of those things where you just focus on playing golf um and the Heat's just kind of part of it a little off the top but you know looks away from college football season uh how you feel about LSU you think the new guys are ready for the oh yeah I think we're going to win them all not going to lose this year um yeah I think I think they'll hold their own I mean obviously very historic programs that have been great for a long time um I mean I hope they don't just come in and start start beating us but uh I think I think it's a good addition for for the SEC awesome thank you
