Utahns in the Masters: Opening-round 71 for Tony Finau, 72 for Mike Weir.

Finau’s 1-under-par 71 almost was matched by 48-year Mike Weir of Sandy. Making his 20th consecutive Masters appearance, Weir rallied with three birdies and eight pars over the last 11 holes to post a 72. Weir, who regularly plays the Web.com Tour in preparation for a PGA Tour Champions career when he turns 50 in May 2020, is in excellent position to make the 36-hole cut at Augusta National for the first time since 2014.

Finau bogeyed the par-3 No. 4, but made three birdies on par-5 holes and stood 2 under through 16 holes. But he bogeyed No.
