All summer, everyone asked Tony Finau about his hopes of making the U.S. Ryder Cup team, and how much that potential opportunity weighed on him. His answer never changed. The selection process would take care of itself, if he just kept performing.
And that's what happened. Chosen as the fourth and final captain's pick in early September, Finau will become the first Utah native to compete in the Ryder Cup in Paris, beginning Friday.
“It'll always be true: If you play good golf, you're always going to set yourself up for good things,” Finau said in mid-September, when he hosted the fourth annual Tony Finau Foundation pro-am at Alpine Country Club.
