Outstanding performance by Tony Finau at the 2023 Mexico Open

The previous year, Finau finished in second place behind Jon Rahm at the Mexico Open; however, the roles were flipped around this time around.

Following the first three rounds, Finau had a score of 65, 64, and 65, giving him a two-stroke lead going into the final round.

“He’s the best and he’s on top of the world right now and I knew I was going to have my hands full with him all the way to the end,” Finau said about Jon Rahm as per the report by Golfweek. “It’s crazy how this game is, you never think you have a tournament won until it’s over.”
