SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Tony Finau made birdie at Augusta National on Sunday on hole 14 in the most unlikely of ways.
After hitting his tee shot into the trees to the right, he was forced to lay up short of the green with his approach. Then, he hit a wedge that bounced past the green and into the backstop, it rolled down the slope and into the bottom of the cup for his second birdie of the day.
