AUGUSTA, Ga.: Tony Finau threw his hat into the Green Jacket ring on Saturday, stealing the early third round lead at the Masters with a record-equalling outward nine to jump to the top of a leaderboard packed with major winners.
Finau started the day four off the pace and made that deficit up with the birdies on the first three holes and another at the sixth. Famous for an ugly ankle sprain he sustained during last year's par three contest when he twisted his foot while jumping up and down celebrating a hole-in-one, Finau will now be remembered for matching the Masters record for lowest front nine.The 29-year-old American joins five others - Johnny Miller, Greg Norman, K.J. Choi, Gary Woodland and Mickelson - who have all carded 30 over the first nine.
Webb Simpson was seven-under through 15 holes to sit one back of Finau alongside Xander Schauffele, Scott and Koepka.
