He just makes so few mistakes, and he doesn&#8217;t take on unnecessary risks very often, if ever, and seems to always hit the correct shot in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn&#8217;t like I asked him about it or we talked a lot about it. It was just me observing. I think that had a pretty large impact on me the last couple years in the majors and just kind of watching how he prepares and the way he goes about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler might have been irritated by his round but he was delighted for his friend.<\/p>\n<p>However, it won\u2019t stop him trying with all of his might to beat him on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s someone I spend so much time around. I know how good he is. Sometimes you just need to continue to build that experience and put yourself in the positions,\u201d the world No.1 said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was close at the US Open last year. He was close again at the US Open this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s played a lot of really good golf in a lot of the biggest tournaments. It&#8217;s really difficult to win out here a bunch of times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSam&#8217;s a guy that&#8217;s been knocking on the door a few times this year and hasn&#8217;t been able to get it done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut like it&#8217;s just a matter of continuing to give yourself opportunities, continuing to knock on the door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s got a ton of talent. For me it&#8217;s just a matter of time until he gets it done in one of these.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I said, just continue to give yourself the opportunities, continue to knock on the door. I haven&#8217;t seen a huge change in his game or anything like that. I think sometime you just need to continue to put yourself in these situations. He&#8217;s definitely got the talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Burns could be about to enjoy the best month of his life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cHe&#8217;s far and beyond the best person that does that.
