As a PGA Tour rookie in 2019, Sam Burns started his season at the Fortinet Championship in Napa, California, and he and wife Caroline and fellow Tour pro Kramer Hickock and his better half were sipping wine at the tasting room of winery Silver Oak when they each decided to buy a double magnum of its iconic cabernet sauvignon. Burns and Hickok made a pact that they’d save it and crack it open as soon as they won for the first time in the big leagues.
“Every time I saw that bottle, I’d think ‘gosh, I really want to open that,’” Burns recalled.
