What an eagle from Finau!!!

Tony Finau has had an up and down week at The Barclays, but what a way to finish the tournament, finishing at five under, and tied 16th. The big hitting American pulverised the ball down 18, hitting a 306 yard drive over the top of the trees and to within 12 ft of the pin. The rest was easy...
