Alright, so I wanted to share a bit about how I kept up with Tony Finau getting that win recently. It wasn’t like I planned my whole weekend around it, you know, but I saw his name popping up near the top early on, and I thought, ‘Okay, let’s keep an eye on this’.
Started off just checking the scores on my phone here and there. Friday, Saturday morning, just a quick glance while grabbing coffee. Saw he was playing steady, putting himself in a good spot. That’s when I decided, yeah, I’m gonna try and follow this more closely come Sunday.
Settling In
So Sunday rolls around. Cleared some stuff off my schedule in the afternoon. Got myself comfortable on the couch, flipped the TV over to the golf. It’s kinda nice just having it on, even if you’re just half-watching sometimes.
He had a lead, which is always a bit weird to watch. You’re pulling for the guy, but there’s always that thought in the back of your head – can he hold it? Golf is funny like that. Big leads can disappear fast. But Tony, he just looked really composed out there. Didn’t seem rushed, didn’t seem panicked, even when things didn’t go perfectly.
Watching Him Close It Out
I wasn’t glued to every single shot, but I definitely paid attention coming down the stretch. He wasn’t really making mistakes. Just hitting fairways, hitting greens. Boring golf is winning golf sometimes, right? He made it look pretty straightforward, which is the amazing part. It’s never as easy as they make it look.
There wasn’t a ton of drama on the last couple of holes because he’d built up that cushion. But still, you watch that final walk up 18, you see him tap in the last putt. Good stuff.
My Takeaway
So, what’s the point of me sharing this? Well, for me, watching stuff like this is kinda grounding. Here’s what I was thinking:
- Steady wins the race: He wasn’t making miracle shots all day, he was just solid. Kept plugging away. A good reminder for pretty much anything you’re working on.
- Staying calm: Watching him handle the pressure, or at least look like he was handling it, is impressive. Keeping your head when things could go wrong is huge.
- It’s just nice: Honestly, it’s just nice seeing someone who seems like a decent guy, works hard, and gets the reward. Puts a bit of a smile on your face.
So yeah, that was my weekend golf-watching experience. Didn’t do anything special, just followed along, checked scores, watched the finish. Saw Tony Finau win. Good for him. A solid Sunday afternoon.
