LEHI, Utah — Few golfers could have bounced back the way Tony Finau did after sustaining a high-ankle sprain on the eve of his Masters debut this year. But then, Finau is not your typical PGA Tour member. The first sticks he played with had a knife on one end and flames shooting off them, and his misses left scars on his forearms.
Finau’s Masters misadventure took place during the par-3 contest. After acing the seventh hole, he took off running in celebration, spun around, stumbled, landed awkwardly and popped his left ankle out of place.
