After an impressive run in the U.S. Open, Utah’s Tony Finau has momentum heading into British Open

After last weekend’s Utah Championship in Farmington, Cameron Champ spoke of his friendship with with Salt Lake City native Tony Finau and how happy he was about winning the Web.com Tour event in “Tony’s territory.”

That area is expanding rapidly. Finau is becoming one of the world's best golfers, as illustrated by his performance in major tournaments this year. Having tied for 10th place in the Masters and finished fifth in the U.S. Open, Finau will try to extend his consistent play in the British Open, starting Thursday at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland.

In nine majors over four seasons, Finau has five top-20 finishes.
