Tony Finau Cheers for Putt by Mimicking Kobe Bryant Shot Celebration

Tony Finau channeled the Mamba Mentality during the second round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Friday.

Finau, who was wearing a No. 8 Lakers jersey in honor of Kobe Bryant, drained a lengthy putt for a birdie on the 16th hole. As the crowd cheered for him, Finau mimicked Bryant's famous shot celebration.

Finau has paid tribute to Bryant throughout the week after the Lakers legend died in a helicopter crash in California on Sunday. Along with his No. 8 jersey, the golfer has sported a custom pair of purple and gold shoes during the tournament.
