JUST IN: LSU Tigers have lost two top talents to Rivals.
Sam Burns of LSU and Scottie Scheffler will leave Masters if ‘the call’ comes.
The Masters is the tournament every golfer wants to win. But good friends Sam Burns of LSU and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler are both prepared to pull out of the season’s first major if they get “that call.”
Both of their wives are back at home expecting each couple’s first child. Caroline Burns is due in just over a week, while Meredith Scheffler is due later this month. Their husbands are staying together at a rented home in Augusta for the Masters.
“I miss Caroline,” Burns said. “I wish she was here, but it’s been fun, too. I know she wants me to be here, so hopefully no baby this week.
“Hopefully stays in there until after Sunday.”

Scheffler and Burns played together during Wednesday’s Par-3 contest. During the round Scheffler, the 2022 Masters champion and heavy pre-tournament favorite, was asked by ESPN’s Sean McDonough about his plans to leave if his wife goes into labor.
