Tony Finau has not been playing well. Period. His last top-10 finish was a T5 at the 2025 Genesis Invitational and his last win was way back in 2023 at the Mexican Open. Nevertheless, the 36-year-old, currently ranked No. 107 in the Official World Golf Ranking, has a slim chance to make next week's Masters. All he has to do is win the Texas Valero Open. Finau shot a 6-under 66 Thursday and is a stroke back of leader Mark Hubbard. Finau remains a long shot, but at least he's given himself a chance.
