This one hurts. Tony Finau was three feet from the cup on the par-3 15th at the Texas Children’s Houston Open on Saturday, about to roll in for a standard par. But the three-footer missed, lipping around the cup … and then it got worse. So much worse. Finau attempted to tap in the three-incher … and left it an inch short.
He signed for a 5, and could have even been tagged with a penalty stroke for standing astride the putting line. There are mistakes you repeat, and there are mistakes you learn from, and it’s likely Finau – who finished T32 – will learn from this one.
