The double for Tony Finau
Co-leader at the start of the last lap of the Rocket Mortage Classic with the Canadian Taylor Pendrith, Tony Finau took off on Sunday signing a card of -5 and a total score of -26, a record for the event. It's her second consecutive victory after the 3M Open, and her fourth victory on the tour. Paul Barjon did not cross the Cut.
The PGA Tour is approaching its end of the season and the FedEx Cup playoffs and the final points of the regular season are becoming important for many players. For the penultimate tournament of the regular season, the PGA Tour stopped in Detroit, Michigan for the Rocket Mortage Classic.
For the second consecutive week on the PGA Tour, Tony Finau finished at the top of the standings with a record total score of -26. Party co-leader on Sunday alongside Taylor Pendrith, Finau signs six birdies for a single bogey (the only bogey of his week) and returns a final card of 67 (-5). He won five strokes ahead of Patrick Cantlay, Cameron Young and Taylor Pendrith and lifted the fourth PGA Tour trophy of his career.

Paul Barjon had another difficult week not passing the Cut of this Rocket Mortgage Classic. He returns cards of 75 (+3) and 76 (+4) for a total of +7. The tricolor is having a difficult season with 11 missed cuts out of 20 tournaments played. Now 157th in the FedEx ranking, it will be necessary to force fate by signing a good performance during the last tournament of the regular season to hope to keep his card.
