HOUSTON—Tony Finau matched his career low on the PGA Tour with an 8–under 62 on Friday, setting a daunting target for the rest of the field as he tries to win back-to-back in the Houston Open.
Finau spent time after his opening round to work on his putting with coach Boyd Summerhays, and it paid off in a big way. He holed four putts from about 25 feet or longer, and he chipped in from 40 feet for eagle on the par-5 eighth.
