Lehi resident Tony Finau opened the PGA Championship with an even-par 70, giving him a tie for 16th place as of the completion of his round Thursday at Bethpage Black in New York.
Finau made an eagle and two bogeys, posting a decent score while hitting only 6 of 14 fairways. He hit 14 greens in regulation but didn’t capitalize on his scoring opportunities, other than his 26-foot eagle putt on the par-5 No. 4.
His best chance for a birdie came when he missed a 7-foot attempt on the par-5 No. 13. Finau gave back one stroke with a bogey from a greenside bunker on the par-4 No.
