Tony Finau Aims For Consistency At The PLAYERS Championship
3 mins agoAfter missing back-to-back cuts at the American Express and the Farmers Insurance Open, Tony Finau has bounced back with finishes of T13, T5, and most recently T36 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He now turns his attention to THE PLAYERS, an event he has competed in eight times, making the cut four times, including a T45 finish last year. Finau has been inconsistent at TPC Sawgrass, mainly due to poor short-game performances. In his eight appearances, he has lost a combined 10.084 strokes around the green and putting. Fortunately, he currently ranks seventh in strokes gained around the green (0.595 per round) and 70th in putting (0.211 strokes gained per round). However, over the past 12 months, he ranks in just the 39th percentile in proximity from 100-150 yards, a key distance given that 32.3% of all approach shots were hit from this range last year. Given his recent form and efficient short game, Finau could be a solid pick at his $9,200 price tag on DraftKings, but including him in your lineup does carry some risk.
