LATROBE, Pa. -- Pittsburgh Steelers rookie cornerback Artie Burns insists theres no pressure on him to step in immediately and try to win the starting job.Burns, the teams first-round pick, is part of a young, revamped Steelers secondary looking to improve after ranking 30th in the league in passing yards allowed last season. But he has been hampered by a nagging thigh injury in training camp, which will likely cause him to miss Fridays preseason opener against the Detroit Lions at Heinz Field.It doesnt matter if I start at all, Burns said. If its going to come, its going to come. I just have to be patient, work hard and when its there, I have to make sure I take my opportunity, go out there and dont look back.The Steelers selected him No. 25 overall in April, the first time the team took a cornerback in the opening round since Chad Scott in 1997. Burns, a former Miami standout, led the ACC with six interceptions last season.Steelers defensive backs coach Carnell Lake expects Burns to contribute to the defense at some point this season.When you draft a first-rounder you have high expectations, and its no different for Artie, Lake said. Its up to Artie, ultimately, but well do everything we can to get him ready.Burns has frequently lined up opposite star wide receiver Antonio Brown during spring practices and again at training camp. He has struggled at times against the two-time All-Pro, but Lake thinks Burns will benefit with Brown as a training partner.I think its great for Arties development, Lake said. You can lose confidence quickly and it may hurt your game initially, but for Artie, he seems to enjoy the competition. Hes taken some lumps that probably any rookie would against (Brown), but I like the way he approaches it.Brown said Burns has the tools to be a great cornerback if he works at it.It starts in practice and the film room, Brown said. Hes not scared to compete and thats one thing I love about him. Thats the attitude and approach you have to have if you want to help us win.Another rookie defensive back, second-round pick Sean Davis, has impressed early in training camp, though he left Wednesdays practice early and had an icepack on his left knee.Davis, a former Maryland standout with position flexibility, has rotated at safety in addition to first-team slot cornerback after Senquenz Golson, the teams 2015 second-round pick, suffered a midfoot, or Lisfranc, injury that required surgery.Coach Mike Tomlin is impressed with Davis conditioning.Hes one of the few rookies Ive seen that really looks like hes come prepared from a conditioning standpoint, Tomlin said. I think thats the first place that allows him to grow and take extra reps, which accelerates the learning curve.Davis also hopes to accelerate the learning curve by spending additional time with Lake.When Davis isnt taking snaps at safety or slot cornerback, hes behind the play, standing next to Lake, picking up pointers from the five-time Pro Bowler.Coach Lake is literally the best coach I ever had, Davis said. Even when we dont have meetings, Im in coach Lakes ear.Hes been there and done that, and hes teaching me, not only how the book does it, but the little things and techniques he knows from experience.Lake doesnt mind the additional on-field coaching sessions.Its always a good thing when they want to learn and have questions, Lake said. Id rather have him there, talking about a particular play. Its good for his development.That will only help an evolving secondary looking for big contributions from Burns and Davis.Theyre coming along and progressing well, Lake said. Eventually, theyre going to have to contribute and hopefully its early.

NAPLES, Fla. -- Ariya Jutanugarn has already decided the first thing she will do if she wins the bonus cash that accompanies the Race to the CME Globe title.Shell take her mom out for a celebratory dinner.Figure on appetizers and dessert being included, since the prize is $1 million.This would have seemed an unlikely scenario a few months ago, but Jutanugarn has arrived at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship as the leader for the CME Globe -- with that $1 million bonus -- and the yearlong money title. A five-time winner this season, Jutanugarn will be player of the year unless world No. 1 Lydia Ko prevails this week.This year I changed my focus, Jutanugarn said. I try to focus just really positive, not too negative. Even if I hit bad shots, dont really complain about it and just try to hit the next shot.Those bad shots dont seem to happen too often.The 20-year-old from Thailand added something to her pre-shot routine in April, and it had nothing to do with her grip or her swing. She started smiling before most shots, a little trick shes used to keep her mind right over the course of a round.Its worked wonders.Ariya has been playing great and shes consistently putting herself in good positions, Ko said.Most around the LPGA Tour call Jutanugarn May -- a fitting moniker this year. She made three starts this May and won them all, her first LPGA victories coming in succession and starting her springboard to No. 2 in the world.And her ascension into the level of the LPGA elite has been rapid.Jutanugarn didnt make the cut in tthe first stop this season, shot a final-round 84 in her second start and finished a combined 39 shots behind the winners during a rather unremarkable two-week stretch in March.ddddddddddddYou still remember? Jutanugarn asked, rhetorically. Did I really shoot 84?Jutanugarn was kidding. She recalls every detail of that day, hammering away with her driver over and over again -- even on the holes where she shouldnt have hit driver -- trying to figure out what was going wrong.Those days are long gone.Jutanugarn, Ko and Brooke Henderson are the three players entering this week with the most realistic chance of hoisting the CME Globe, which goes to the winner of the yearlong points race on the tour. All posed with a plexiglass box holding $1 million to represent the bonus cash that goes to the Globe winner on Monday, and thats when Jutanugarn let her mind wander to what winning it would be like.Her scoring average after her first six starts this season was 72.4. In 21 starts since, its 69.3.The bad shots, she said, inspired me to hit better shots.She leads the money race by a slim margin over Ko entering this week, and she needed no time to decide which trophy shed want most this week if she could leave Naples with only one.To me, it would be player of the year, Jutanugarn said. Its a really huge honor to win that award. To me, thats the hardest one to win.Maybe so, but shes made contending for it look easy.
