“I literally won nothing” – PGA Tour star Tony Finau gets shutout at first Annual Finau Family Invitational

Tony Finau played a practice round with his family before the start of the Sentry Tournament of Champions at Kapalua’s Bay Course as a warm-up. The first Finau Family Invitational was hosted by the man himself, where the Finau family competed against Team Summerhas comprising swing coach Boyd and his son Preston and team “the Old Boys” having Finau's cousins.

Cousins prevailed in the four-man scramble formatted event. Preston shot 65 just lower than Finau's 66 in the gross division. Finau’s son Jraice ran away with the net title, scoring 71.

“We give him 12 shots because everyone strokes off me. Usually 12-14 shots is right for him and he kicked my butt, I literally won nothing at my Finau Family Invitational." said Tony Finau.

However, he added that he was happy to provide a little purse, just enough to keep everybody's "blood flowing."

Finau revealed that although his family had experience playing at the Bay Coars in past appearances, he wanted to organize something more official.

“I felt like there was just way too much talent in our family and in our group to not at least have something a little more official since we’re all down here and they like coming out here and watching me play this week,” he said.
