Poor Form Entering
Finau enters his fourth Masters tournament this week. A tournament that has brought the Salt Lake City native a great amount of success in the past. He debuted at Augusta in 2018 when he finished in a tie for 10th. A year later, days after dislocating his ankle during the Wednesday par 3 tournament he finished in a tie for 5th and played in the final group on Sunday alongside Francesco Molinari and eventual champion Tiger Woods.
Last year, after the tournament was postponed until November, Finau finished in a tie for 38th. It was his worst finish at Augusta since he debuted in 2018.
