Tony Finau shares 3M Open lead in first round since caddie split
Tony Finau didn't miss a beat in transitioning to a new face on the bag for the first time in his PGA Tour career.
Finau split with longtime caddie Greg Bodine following an eighth-place finish at last week's Memorial Tournament, one where Finau held at least a share of the lead after each of the first two rounds but struggled to a final-round 78. The two had been together since Finau's rookie year on Tour in 2014-15, and Bodine looped for Finau during his lone Tour victory at the 2016 Puerto Rico Open.
But this week he has swing coach Boyd Summerhays filling in as caddie, and the two quickly found a groove as Finau opened with a 6-under 65 to grab a share of the early lead at the 3M Open.
