After a fairly encouraging first-round 71, though, Finau faded to a tie for 23rd place Friday with a 3-over-par 75 – matching his worst score in 18 career trips around Augusta National.
Tony Finau hits on the 12th hole during the second round at the Masters golf tournament on Friday, April 8, 2022, in Augusta, Ga.Playing the first two rounds of the 86th Masters with Tony Finau worked out nicely for Scottie Scheffler, but a return to Augusta National Golf Club has failed to bring out the best from Finau.
Putting troubles hurt him on the first 10 holes, as Finau missed four attempts from 4 to 6 feet. And then some erratic shots cost him three more bogeys on the back nine. His previous 75 came in the second round of the 2020 Masters, staged in November. His three April appearances have resulted in top-10 finishes.Sandy resident Mike Weir posted a 76 in the second round, missing the 36-hole cut by two strokes with a 6-over total.
As for Finau, the first clue that he was in for a tough day on Augusta National’s greens came when he missed a 6-foot birdie putt on No. 1. He responded by converting a 4-footer for birdie on No. 2 after a great pitch shot, but bogeyed Nos. 6 and 10 and failed to birdie the par-5 No. 8, all due to misses from inside of 6 feet.
