Six-foot four-inch (1.93 m) Finau could have played top-flight college basketball, but choose instead to sign-up to golf's professional ranks at the age of 17. He honed his skills on various mini-tours before moving onto the Web.com tour in 2015, and a year later the full PGA Tour.
His first PGA Tour win came after a playoff at the Puerto Rico Open in 2016. An excellent run of form in the 2018 majors and in the FedEx Cup playoff events saw Finau rewarded with a Captain's Pick for the USA Ryder Cup team.

Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
