Utah’s Tony Finau ends his first Ryder Cup appearance with a dominating effort

Salt Lake City native Tony Finau played for the losing team in his first Ryder Cup appearance, but he performed very well in Paris.

Finau dominated Tommy Fleetwood, formerly one of Europe's hottest players, in a singles match Sunday at Le Golf National, winning the last five holes of the front nine in an eventual 6-and-4 victory. Playing in three matches of the competition, Finau produced two points in the Americans' 17½-10½ loss.

“I played incredible golf today,” Finau said. “I was controlling the ball nicely and I made some putts ... Just really pleased with my performance [Sunday] and throughout the week.
