Tony Finau motors off with back-to-back wins in Motor City at Rocket Mortgage Classic

“They say a winner is just a loser that just kept on trying, and that’s me to a T.”

If winning is a habit, Tony Finau may officially be addicted to it.

Finau, who had posted 39 top-10 finishes, including being a runner-up eight times between his maiden victory at the 2016 Puerto Rico Open and validating last August by claiming the Northern Trust, had gone 143 starts and a span of 1,975 days between those titles.

The gap between wins three and four was significantly shorter.

Seven days after Finau erased a five-stroke deficit heading into the final round of the 3M Open to earn his third Tour title, he made it back-to-back wins by shooting a final-round 5-under 67 at Detroit Golf Club to clinch the Rocket Mortgage Classic in The Motor City by five strokes over Patrick Cantlay, Taylor Pendrith and Cameron Young.

“They say a winner is just a loser that just kept on trying, and that’s me to a T,” Finau said. “How many times do I lose? But one thing I won’t do is give up, and I’m only here as a winner because I chose not to give up and just keep going.”

Finau, 32, became the first player to win consecutive tournaments since Patrick Cantlay did so a year ago at the BMW Championship and Tour Championship. It was Cantlay who produced the biggest threat to spoil Finau’s day. Cantlay birdied five of the first eight holes in his final round, but a bogey at No. 12 was costly. The reigning FedEx Cup champion shot 6-under 66, recording his Tour best 10th top-10 finish of the season.

“That’s what I’ve got to keep doing, just keep knocking on the door,” Cantlay said.

Pendrith, a 31-year-old Tour rookie from Canada, sat out 15 weeks with a fractured left rib. He had just one career top-10 finish entering the week but made 25 birdies in his first 54 holes to share the lead going into Sunday. Playing in the final group alongside Finau for the second day in a row, Pendrith’s inexperience showed as he carded an even-par 72 but still notched his best career finish. Young, a fellow rookie, closed in 68 to register his fifth runner-up finish this season, tying six other players for most in a season on Tour in the last 40 years, as he still seeks his first Tour title.

“Today, Tony beat us all by a lot, but it’s not fun being that close that often and not having one (victory),” Young said.

Despite his FedEx Cup Playoff triumph a year ago and Ryder Cup success, Finau suffered through a lull early this season as he and his family dealt with the death of his wife’s (Alayna) father. Finau ranked 150th in the FedEx Cup point standings heading into the Mexico Open in late April. Finau finished second there, and rediscovered his mojo.

“He’s a lot tougher than people think,” said Finau’s swing instructor, Boyd Summerhays. “I think persistence and patience were the two biggest things. He never lost self-belief during that lull. Once he got hot, he was hungry.”

Finau made birdies at the two par 5s on the front nine to grab the lead. He sank a clutch 11-foot par putt at the ninth and extended his lead with a 21-foot birdie putt one hole later at No. 10. Finau went 64 holes, the longest bogey-free stretch of his career, before making a three-putt bogey from 69 feet at No. 11. It was just his fifth bogey in his last eight rounds, during which he shot an eye-popping 44-under par.

How did Finau respond to his first bogey in Motown? At the 12th, he drained a 31-foot birdie and pumped his right fist as he stretched his lead to four shots over Pendrith.

“We all know he needs to make more putts on Sunday to get the job done, and he’s just done that,” Summerhays said.

This is the type of success expected of Finau for some time. He ranked first in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, second in SG: Off the Tee and third in driving accuracy.

“I think that’s a big reason I’ve been hitting so many greens,” he said of his driving prowess. “I’m just hitting a lot more fairways than I’m accustomed to or than I have in the past. This golf course really opens up to you if you hit it in the short grass.”

 

It didn’t hurt that Finau hit 66 of 72 greens in regulation, tying for the third-most on Tour since 1980, and was perfect in scrambling in six attempts. Finau shot a new tournament 72-hole scoring record of 26-under 262.

“It’s the culmination of him starting to hit it better than he ever has in his career, and he already was an unbelievable ballstriker,” Summerhays said. “Add in that he’s started to gain strokes on the green, and for him, he’s going to be there almost every single week.”

Despite his come-from-behind win last week in Minnesota, Finau still believed he had some unfinished business after catching a lucky break last week at 17 when his tee shot ricocheted off a sponsor chalet and stopped just short of the water and his drive at 18 rolled into the lake and cost him a penalty stroke. He wanted to finish this week in style as well as put to rest the stat that he had never secured a win in five previous attempts with the 54-hole lead or co-lead.

“For some reason I left (3M), and after bogeying the 18th hole I had kind of a sour taste in my mouth and I think it just gave me extra motivation to put myself there again this week and just prove to myself the kind of champion that I am and making birdies down the stretch when you really need them,” Finau said. “I thought that this week I was able to prove to myself the champion that I feel like I am.”

A champion whose wife was confident enough in her man that she flew to Detroit on Saturday night to be there. Behind the 18th green, Alayna waited for the final stroke to be struck and Tony rushed to wrap his arms around her. Their long kiss signified the struggles they have overcome and a job well done. Don’t look now, but Finau is starting to make a habit of these celebrations.

Adam Scott’s odd driver tweak has him in contention after two rounds at Rocket Mortgage Classic

This Masters champion’s odd driver tweak is paying off at Rocket Mortgage Classic

Adam Scott said he wouldn’t call it a low point — that Thursday in March during the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill when he didn’t put a driver in his bag.

He said the conditions necessitated avoiding rough and finding fairways, so he elected to go with his 2-wood.

But still, after carding a blemish-free, 6-under 66 at Detroit Golf Club on Friday morning and walking off the course tied for second at 9 under par at the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic, he admitted had he carried the confidence on that day that he does now with his driver, it likely would’ve been in play.

“Yesterday was for sure the best I’ve driven it for a couple of years,” Scott, the 2013 Masters champion, said. “That felt good and I drove it well again today.”

Scott, 42, is second in strokes gained tee-to-green on the week, and fifth in strokes gained off the tee — numbers he hadn’t seen in some time, but something he hopes becomes the norm following the fix he made shortly after the U.S. Open in June.

Rocket Mortgage Classic: Scores | PGA Tour Live on ESPN+

It’s not that he played badly, he finished T-14th, but committed to the change because while he consistently felt like he was playing well, he found “a couple of errant drives a day was costing me a chance of shooting rounds like today.”

So, he got in the lab with his swing coach Brad Malone.

“Changing the angle of attack, I’m hitting more down on it than I have been and that’s certainly brought things under control a little bit and that’s kind of a comfort spot for me,” he said. “Whenever you’re comfortable on the golf course, that’s a good thing.”

Scott said the rationale was simple: Maximize his room for error.

As he explains it, in today’s game, by always trying to maximize spin rate and distance, his game is always on a “knife’s edge” so it doesn’t take much — a millimeter here, a degree there — for things to go awry.

But by building in that cushion room, the thinking was he’d be in better position more frequently.

“Just bringing the ball a little more under control,” he said. “It’s funny because I don’t feel like I’ve sacrificed any distance, even though we all think you’ve got to launch it high to hit it far.

“But I’ve certainly hit more fairways and feel like I’m going to.”

He hit 10-for-14 fairways on Thursday and 8-for-14 on Friday, which ranks in the middle of the pack for the tournament, but he has avoided those wayward drives that put him fully out of position.

Most importantly, for Scott, on the par-5s, he has capitalized. Scott found the fairway on all three of Detroit Golf Club’s longest holes Friday, and was on the green in two each time.

“I had three good looks at eagle on the par 5s,” he said. “I didn’t happen to make one, but taking advantage of those easily can always set you up for a good day.”

When Scott headed into the weekend, the only two names ahead of him were rookies Cameron Young and Sahith Theegala. While he didn’t expect his second position to hold, he figured he’d be somewhere in the top five or top 10 when he woke up for moving day.

Asked if it felt like it had been a long time since he’d won, he said “yeah, a little bit.” That was February 16, 2020, at the Genesis Invitational at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.

Since then, the world has gone through a pandemic and he has had another child. He called it all “a blur” but said the world, and his game, seem to be settling down.

It was one year ago next week when he missed a putt in a playoff at Wyndham that would’ve won him the tournament. He has three top-10s this season.

Winning isn’t that far away, he believes, and with some youngsters in his way, he said he has one thing they don’t.

“Experience is one of the few things I for sure have going for me every week out here so I should use that to my advantage,” the Australian said laughing. “If I do find myself in position over the weekend, am in contention coming down the stretch, I certainly feel like I may have an edge.

“I’ve been in that position a lot and I feel comfortable there and I hope to be in that spot.”

America’s next dream team? U.S. Presidents Cup Captain Davis Love III gets a sneak-peek in Detroit

“If they made the team, they’re a natural. It’s like Xander and Patrick, they’re like peas in a pod” — Davis Love III

DETROIT – U.S. Presidents Cup Captain Davis Love III may have found America’s next winning tandem.

It was by no accident that Love was grouped for the first two rounds of the Rocket Mortgage Classic with young stars Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris. The former Wake Forest University teammates put on a show, especially Young who fired a 9-under 63 on Friday to grab the lead during the second round at Detroit Golf Club.

“Well, if they made the team, they’re a natural. It’s like Xander (Schauffele) and Patrick (Cantlay), they’re like peas in a pod,” Love said. “The only thing I asked them, you know, we’ve had guys before that hang out together all the time and do everything together but they don’t really want to play together. I said, ‘Do you want to play together? ‘No, no, no, we do everything together.’

“They say they play 75 percent of their practice rounds together…they seem to get along great. You can see it when after I hit and they take off running down the fairway, they’re chitchatting the whole day, comfortable with each other and giving each other a hard time.”

The Presidents Cup will be held at Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte, beginning September 22.

Rocket Mortgage Classic: Scores | PGA Tour Live on ESPN+

Zalatoris, who finished second at the U.S. Open and is ranked No. 13 in the Official World Golf Ranking, entered the week ranked 10th in the U.S. team point standings while Young, No. 19 in OWGR, is 13th.  The top six in points automatically qualify for the team and Love will have six captain’s picks to round out his squad, the same number as U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Steve Stricker had last fall. Love said he has about 25 players on his radar.

“You want guys that are hot. All the way back to 2010, like Rickie Fowler had a hot finish and his putter was hot and Corey Pavin picked him. So everybody’s kind of still on the radar. It’s not like it’s narrowed down. We have six picks so it’s still kind of wide open,” he said.

But there are few hotter players on the planet than Young, who finished second in the British Open and tie for third at the PGA Championship and has recorded four runner-ups and two thirds in an impressive rookie campaign.

“It would be very special. I mean, I’ve been a part of a couple teams throughout my life and it’s just very fun,” Young said. “Anytime you get to put on red, white and blue is a special experience, and I think this would be on a little different level for me. But yeah, I think obviously nice to play well in front of him and good just to spend some time around him. He’s an awesome guy and has been around the game a long time, so it was a lot of fun.”

Zalatoris won the Arnold Palmer Rookie of the Year Award last season and Young looks to be the favorite to follow suit. About the only thing Young and Zalatoris, who shot 71 on Friday, haven’t done yet on the PGA Tour is win a tournament. Could this be the week for Young to hoist a trophy?

“Cameron is trending up. He has been all the way,” Love said. “Obviously got to finish this weekend, but his game just looks so solid right now.”

2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic Friday tee times, TV and streaming info

Everything you need to know for the second round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

The first round of the penultimate event on the PGA Tour schedule is in the books.

This week’s stop is in Detroit, Michigan, for the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. The course is a par-72 layout measuring 7,370 yards.

After winning the 3M Open just four days ago, Tony Finau picked up right where he left off and fired an 8-under 64 on Thursday. For the first time in his career, Finau hit all 18 greens in regulation. Webb Simpson, like Finau, played in the morning wave and took advantage of easier conditions. He’s 6 under after day one.

From tee times to TV and streaming info, here’s what you need to know for the second round of the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic. All times listed are ET.

Why Max Homa’s wife committed theft at a Detroit hotel (spoiler — she didn’t mean it)

He and his wife, Lacey, like to eat at The Henry hotel, but their latest trip to the restaurant could’ve ended with an arrest.

Max Homa, PGA Tour Twitter’s resident funny guy, had a new story to tell on social media after arriving in Michigan for the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

He and his wife, Lacey, like to eat at The Henry hotel in Dearborn, but their latest trip to the hotel and restaurant could’ve ended with an arrest. Lacey is pregnant with their first child, and Max knew her “pregnancy brain” had kicked in when she went into the establishment looking for water.

She walked straight to The Henry’s fridge and took a water bottle without paying for it, but, luckily, she remembered where she was before leaving the premises.

“I was like, ‘All right, I guess I might need to apologize to somebody.’ We’ll figure it out,” Max said of the unwitting theft. “But yeah, it’s been fun. Yesterday was the first baby appointment I’ve missed. But the rest has been really cool to see, and seeing that part of life, it’s a reminder that golf isn’t everything. There’s a lot of things that will make you happier and have a lot more fun.”

Amid LIV Golf’s controversial rise to prominence, Homa’s one to remain focused on more pleasant matters, like becoming a first-time dad. He has six top-25 finishes in his last eight starts on Tour. He also soaked up playing with Tiger Woods at The British Open two weeks ago and took in a Detroit Tigers game for the second straight year on Tuesday.

Homa, No. 11 in the FedEx Cup standings, didn’t initially plan to play the Rocket Mortgage Classic for the third time in four years. But his hopes of pushing into the top 10 ahead of the FedEx St. Jude Championship made for a trip to Detroit. Before Michigan, though, he enjoyed eyeing one of golf’s greatest while chasing down leaders Scottie Scheffler and Cameron Smith at St. Andrews.

“The thing I’ll remember the most probably was the 18th (hole) walk, just because it was a historic moment,” Homa said of being grouped with Woods at The Open. “One of those things I feel like people will say, ‘I’ll never forget where I was when…’ and, like, I was there. So I thought that was neat. And it was cool to see the fans just show him the utmost respect that he has earned.”

The die-hard Los Angeles Dodgers fan — and part-time Detroit Lions supporter since his friend Jared Goff was acquired from the Los Angeles Rams in January 2021 — enthused about the energy during the Tigers’ 10-inning, 6-4 loss to the San Diego Padres: “The energy is good. I mean, they haven’t been very great for a bit, but they’ve got Miguel Cabrera, so it was cool to hear everybody go nuts when he got up to bat. … I got to go to root against the Padres, so that’s always a joy to have a dog in the fight.”
