TONY FINAU ENDS WAIT WITH NORTHERN TRUST VICTORY


Tony Finau finally bagged his second PGA Tour title as he beat Cameron Smith in a play-off on the last day of The Northern Trust. It took him five years taste the victory again since his breakthrough at the 2016 Puerto Rico Open.

Finau headed into the final day at Liberty National Golf Club trailing Smith, John Rahm, Eric van Rooyen and Justin Thomas. However, he displayed an impressive performance in the last nine, which include three birdies and an eagle in a five-hole stretch. At the end of the 72nd hole, both Finau and Smith were tied at 20 under par.

The 31-year-old made par on the first play-off hole to win after Smith had driven his tee shot out of bounds. Heavy rain delayed Sunday's final round to Monday, but Finau has waited long enough to be in the winner's circle again. After 10 runner-up finishes from 142 events, he knew it was going to happen. The triumph moved him to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup Standings.
