Golfer Sam Burns snaps club during St. Jude Championship

Golfer Sam Burns cost himself on Saturday with a snap decision during the third round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn.

Burns hit an errant tee shot on the par-4 446-yard 9th hole. He slammed his driver into the ground after the bad shot and inadvertently broke off the club head.

Burns double-bogeyed the hole and then had to play the rest of his round without his driver. He shot even par on the back-nine, which was the same score he had on the front-nine.

Burns entered Saturday’s third round tied for second at 11-under par. His 70 on Saturday moved him down the leaderboard a spot to tied for fourth at 10-under.

Burns enters Sunday seven strokes behind the leader Hideki Matsuyama.
