The Lehi resident’s shot from 297 yards to within 6 feet of the hole set up an eagle on the par-5 No. 13 at Bethpage Black in New York. Finau then birdied the par-4 No. 18 to complete a round of 1-under-par 69 that included four bogeys, three birdies and his second eagle of the tournament.
Finau stands 2 over par entering Sunday’s final round. He moved into the top 40 and is in the range for what is becoming his usual finish lately in the PGA Championship. He tied for 42nd place in 2017 and tied for 44th last year (that remains his worst finish in the past seven major tournaments).
