Q. Look at the score on the internet and see what you win 3 & 2 but this was such a close match. You were able to win three of four holes down the stretch.
SAM BURNS: Yeah, great match overall. We kind of went back and forth there for the first 12 or so holes. Adam is a great competitor. Enjoyed playing against him. He pushed me to be better today, and ultimately we came out on the good side, but it was a good match.
Q. I've seen you play, and at times I thought you were looking for your game a little bit and you played so well trying to win the Valspar for the third time in a row. Did you find a little something?
SAM BURNS: Yeah, my coach and I have been working really hard on my golf swing. I think for us it's just been how do we get better today and not really think about too far in the future. Just trying to put little daily goals in there, try to get better each day.
I think what we've been doing has been starting to show a little bit more on the golf course.
Q. Are you saying it's a mental adjustment or have you made a physical change in your swing?
SAM BURNS: Well, I think golf is constantly mental adjustments.
But yeah, we've worked really hard on my golf swing and it's starting to feel a lot better, starting to strike it a lot more consistently and have some more control.
Q. Anything specifically you can tell us you worked on?
SAM BURNS: Just little stuff in the takeaway and kind of the backswing. We feel as if when I've hit it the best, the takeaway is really clean. I get it in a good spot in the backswing, and from there I can just go. That's kind of where we're trying to get to.
