The West High School graduate chipped in for a birdie on the 18th hole and posted a 7-under-par 64 in the final round of the BMW Championship near Chicago, moving into a tie for seventh place. His reward? Entry into two high-profile events in Georgia — including the 2018 Masters.
Finau advanced to the Tour Championship this week at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta by jumping from 39th place to 24th in the FedEx Cup Playoffs standings. The top 30 players earned berths in the Tour Championship and bids to all four major tournaments next year.
The Masters appearance will be the first for Finau, a Lehi resident who turned 28 on Thursday.
