This is a downhill hole that’s not even 100 metres. And Finau barely put it off the back with a shot that his TrackMan registered as having 172mph ball speed and carrying 234 metres.
It was the first such stoppage on the PGA Tour since the 2015 Open Championship at St Andrews and first in the US for the tour since the third round of the 2014 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Hat backwards, choking down on a 5-iron and hitting a punch draw – Billy Horschel tried EVERYTHING just to get his ball to the green on a short par 3 at Torrey Pines. And it still didn’t work.
