SHANGHAI -- Tony Finau struggled for so much of Saturday at the HSBC that he was hopeful of a strong finish to carry some momentum into the final round.
He got much more than he imagined.
Finau closed with three straight birdies for a 2-under 70 and kept his three-shot lead because of a late collapse by Justin Rose, who played the final two holes in five more shots than Finau required.
"There was no need to panic," Finau said. "Just play some good golf coming down the stretch, and I was able to do that.
