Second Round Interview with Tony Finau

Q. Tony, 3 under today, 9 under through two rounds. What was working today?

TONY FINAU: It was nice to make an eagle on the last. I hit a really good drive, pushed my second shot a little, got lucky, covered the water and was able to roll that one in. Sometimes those are the small little breaks that you need to be towards the top of the leaderboard.

Q. How difficult was the putt? What was the read?

TONY FINAU: Well, I had a lot of time to think about it. I read it before when I knew there was going to be a delay and then had another seven, eight minutes of taking a look at it.

Double breaker went left, then kind of flat right at the hole. Not an easy putt actually but nice of it to roll in.

Q. What did you do during the break? Were you thinking about the putt or were you just trying to fool around on the phone?

TONY FINAU: I can't say I was really thinking about the putt. More so just how long we're going to be waiting for it. I played a little Sudoku on my phone so that was nice to pass the time.
