Utah’s Tony Finau hopes to get back on track in the British Open, the last major of the season

In his last major golf tournament before turning 30, Tony Finau will be trying to extend one successful streak and launch another.

The Lehi resident has played well in all three of his previous British Open appearances, including a tie for ninth place last July. But he’s regrouping after his run of making the 36-hole cut in eight straight majors ended last month in the U.S. Open.

The PGA Tour’s 2018-19 calendar is accelerated, designed to end prior to the football season. So this week’s British Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland is the final major of the season, and the FedEx Cup Playoffs will be staged in August.
