Frequent-flying Finau (62) catches fire to leap into contention at AmEx

Tony Finau isn’t yet showing signs of travel fatigue.

In fact, if he’s going to play like this, he might want to considering flying halfway around the world more often.

Fresh off a fifth-place finish last week in Hong Kong, Finau, at 13 under, will enter the weekend just two off the pace at the American Express. His second-round 62 on Friday tied the PGA West Nicklaus Tournament Course record, as he birdied seven of his last nine holes for an inward 29.

“These are the type of rounds you have to have to be in contention here, it seems like,” he said.
