‘Nicest Guys on Tour’: Golf Fans Get Nostalgic as Tony Finau’s Old Video Resurfaces After His Recent Win

Tony Finau captured his sixth PGA Tour title at the Mexico Open in Vidanta last night. Utah’s 33-year-old beat number-one-ranked golfer Jon Rahm by three shots. On the last day, Finau‘s most impressive achievement was in the first half of the game. He finished with a bogey-free round of 5-under 66 that gave him a three-shot victory. It was his redemption because last year he came in second to Rahm by one shot.

“It feels amazing. I knew I would have my hands full,” said Finau, who finished at 24-under 260.“Rahmbo’ is on top of the world right now. It’s crazy how this game is – you never feel you have a tournament won until it’s over.”

Finau’s sweet family stole the show

After his stellar performance, not only Finau but his two adorable sons also shared the limelight. The PGA Tour pro’s elder son, Jraice Finau, twirled around and proudly showed his attire to everyone. Also, when he was asked about his excitement, “the tournament, dad winning or you playing in the pool?” He replied, “I didn’t understand but me playing in the pool.” but shortly after, he changed his answer to “Dad playing.”

The golfer has a difference of five years between his first and second victory on the PGA Tour. He won $1,386,000 for his sixth PGA Tour win and rose to 11th in the world standings.
