SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Utah native and PGA Tour member Tony Finau gave a shoutout to the Utes and BYU on College Gameday on Saturday morning.
A ton of golfers gave love to their alma mater or childhood teams as the guest picker was announced, which was Harris English, a Georgia grad.
Tony Finau appeared in the video midway through and it started with “UTAH” on the back of his hat. Finau turned around and revealed that he was wearing a Utes hat and a BYU shirt.
“Loving greetings from Utah,” Finau said in the video. “Go B-Y-Utes.”
Utah love! BYUTES š¤š¾šš¾ https://t.co/QYu0kPVFix
