Tony Finau Greenbrier Classic

Tony Finau has been one of golf’s top rising stars over the past three years. With incredible power off the tee and finesse with his irons to match, it seems inevitable that Finau will add to a second victory to his resume sooner, rather than later.

Sure, there will be bumps along the way, as there will be for any player. But Finau continues to grow his game, and one of the best places to see that is from his performance last week at the Quicken Loans National. Finau shot 75 on Friday at TPC Potomac, a five-over round that allowed him to sneak through the cut on the number. He bounced back on the weekend, going 69-68 to work into a tie for 29th place. Four under – his total for the first, third and fourth rounds – would have tied for fifth.

There’s a certain confidence around Finau these days, one that may not always pay off on the leader board, but will remove any ceilings from his potential when the time is right. Making his second trip to the Old White TPC, Finau will look to build on the form that brought him to a tie for 13th in 2015, just three shots out of that year’s playoff finish.
