Burton, who was playing out of the one-spot today for Farmington, was on-top of his game from the very first hole. Burton carded six-straight fours to open his day. One of those fours was a birdie on the par-five 3rd hole. Burton finished with a three-over 38 on the front nine. Burton bogeyed just two holes on the back nine and birdied the par-four 14th to finish with a 36 on the back nine.
