Sam Burns One Shot Off Masters Lead as Reports Note Baby No. 2 on the Way

His push for a first major comes with visible family support at Augusta.

Overview

  • Burns enters the Masters final round at ten under, one stroke behind Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young, according to Sunday leaderboard reports.
  • Golf Channel host Todd Lewis reported during Masters coverage that Burns and his wife, Caroline, are expecting their second child in July 2026.
  • Caroline and their young son, Bear, are at Augusta this week, continuing a pattern of family appearances that included the Par 3 Contests in 2025 and 2026.
  • The couple’s story stretches back to childhood in Shreveport, with a 2019 engagement, a December 2019 wedding, and Bear’s birth in April 2024.
  • A win would be Burns’ first major title and a career milestone for the five-time PGA Tour winner at a tournament where the green jacket carries outsized weight.
