Time-zone hopping Finau (62) eyes captain’s pick

LAS VEGAS – You’ll forgive Tony Finau’s slow start this week at the Shriners.

It’s taken him a few days get back on Pacific Time.

With jet lag behind him, Fianu went out early Saturday and carded seven birdies and an eagle for a career-best 9-under 62, flying into a tie for the third-round lead at the Shirners Hospitals for Children Open, finishing before the final groups had started.

Finau is fresh off consecutive European Tour starts at the BMW PGA and Alfred Dunhill Links. He got back to his home in Utah this past Sunday around 11 p.
