‘I’ve Done Enough’: 3M Open Defending Champ Tony Finau Makes a Bold Confession as His Ryder Cup Dreams Make Headlines at the $7.8 Million Event

With another stellar major championship concluding last Sunday, PGA Tour moves to its next stop — Blaine, Minnesota. These next few events on the tour are going to be quite crucial for the players who wish to register their names for the Ryder Cup. Only two months away, Ryder Cup has already grabbed a lot of attention, concerning the golfers who will qualify and those to be picked by the captain. Hence, it was obvious for questions to arise regarding the prestigious team tournament before the 3M Open officially commences.

The defending champion of the $7.8 million event, Tony Finau, found himself on the receiving end of it. While the query wasn’t staggering, the 33-year-old’s reply to it was definitely astonishing.

Tony Finau announces a bold comment concerning getting picked for the American Ryder Cup Team

Given the prestige of the tournament and how every golfer aspires to be part of it, Tony Finau’s answer seemed justified. He boldly stated, “I think if winning & experience holds a lot of weight, then I feel like I’ve done enough“. This was the golfer’s way of vouching for himself.

Although, despite this confidence, the 2022 Texas Children’s Houston Open winner sounded quite realistic while sharing his opinion. He further added that, however, if the formula for selection of the American Ryder Cup Team lies in consistency and form, then probably he hasn’t done enough. Irrespective of the level-headed answer toward his Ryder Cup dream, Finau honestly revealed a positive approach. This was targeted toward a probable selection in American Team based on the captain’s pick.

Despite a pragmatic outlook, Finau determinedly portrays an optimistic stance

While the 33-year-old gave a dialectical answer regarding his efforts toward getting selected for the Ryder Cup, Finau’s stance on the same was quite clear. He portrayed a resilient front and said, “But the great thing for me is the picks aren’t tomorrow“. Further explaining his statement, the PGA Tour Pro said that there is still some left for the American team’s picks. 

And he would not hesitate to give his hundred percent to the tournaments left to play before the Ryder Cup. The professional’s elucidation represented that he has still got four PGA Tour events to make his case if there is a question.

Finau’s clarification sounded quite reasonable. Given how out of the 12 players of the Ryder Cup team, 6 are picked by the team captain, the golfer still has a chance to make an impression on the American leader — Zach Johnson. Although his performance for the past few games has been concerning, the fact that he has been part of the American Ryder Cup team in 2018 and 2021 remains true.
