"I was able to convert the birdie putts" - Tony Finau 'happy' after winning the Mexico Open at Vidanta
The Mexico Open at Vidanta was Tony Finau's fourth PGA Tour win since finishing T2 at Vidanta Vallarta last year. The 33-year-old golfer later said in a press conference that he played great golf and was striking the ball well all week.
"The biggest thing was I was able to convert the birdie putts that I really needed to, and also some of the par saves that were momentum swingers for me. So, very happy just with the four rounds I was able to put together."
"I knew today was going to be a tall task going against Rambo (Rahm) and with the form that he's in. So, I was really put to the test and came out on top, which feels great."
