One is of him rapping in fine rhythm to a remix of Teach Me How to Dougie while driving to the final round of the Canadian Open. Two videos I watched of late centered on Finau. If it means Finau is setting himself up for true greatness in the remaining years of his career, who doesn’t want to buy into that? Nobody had won back-to-back events on the PGA Tour since 2019, so there’s that. Not sure with exactness what this means immediately moving forward. Those posted low numbers are notable, regardless. Some curmudgeons ratchet down his accomplishment because it wasn’t done against the strongest fields of the 2022 season. That, in part, is how he groomed his game.įinau had won before on tour, but now, at last, through the span over the final 11 days of July, he made it a habit. It’s hard not to root for a guy like Finau, who grew up the opposite of a country club kid, instead blasting shot after shot, until his strength was spent, into a mattress hung on the wall in the family’s garage on the west side of Salt Lake City. This is now a Finau family fan account, per a source /2uZplz9CDv- claire rogers August 1, 2022 He also got emotional when he was asked about honoring his mother, who was killed in a car accident a decade or so ago. Being a champion, he said, requires that, whether that champion wins or loses. After the West High graduate hugged his wife, Alayna, who surprised him by flying in for the final round of the Rocket, Finau wept as he described into a CBS microphone the privilege it was for him to exemplify for his children that Dad’s sacrifice in spent time away from home and the hard work put in was paying off. In victory, he was humble, gracious, grateful and emotional. Sidling up next to that was Finau’s personality, which made the whole of it even better. His overall game was darn-near … perfect. His drives were powerful, his approaches pure, his putts precise.
Over his eight rounds at those tournaments, he carded the sweetest grouping of numbers: 67, 68, 65, 67, 64, 66, 65, 66. Eeezy-peezy, or at least that’s the way he made it look. He achieved those victories in different ways, coming from behind in Minnesota and firing through at Detroit. That much has been demonstrated in the last two PGA Tour events - the 3M Open and the Rocket Mortgage Classic - as you know, both of which he won.
At 32, having made his fortune, he still has time and, lord knows, he has that talent.
