CHAMP #1 IN DISTANCE
Tony Finau and Cameron Champ were in the mix late coming down the stretch on Sunday at the PGA Championship. Both were in a group tied for the lead at one point. Finau earned a T4, the fourth time he’s been inside the top 5 at a major, his seventh top 10 in a major overall.
Champ, in only his third major, earned a T10 and with his G410 LST he led the field in average driving distance at 321.1 yards. The top 10 qualified him for the all-exempt field for the U.S. Open, his second time at the event. He earned a spot in this year’s Masters by winning the Safeway Open last September
