Finau eases to 3M Open win after Piercy collapse

Tony Finau capitalised on a final-round collapse by Scott Piercy to secure a third PGA Tour title with a three-stroke victory at the 3M Open in Minneapolis.

Finau mixed five birdies with two bogeys on his way to a four-under 67 at TPC Twin Cities, which saw him end the week on 17 under and ahead of closest challengers Sungjae Im and Emiliano Grillo after an extraordinary final day.

Piercy appeared to be cruising to victory and held a five-shot advantage early in his final round, only to register six bogeys and a triple-bogey on his way to a final-round 76 and tied-fourth finish.

"I was playing great but every time I looked up it seemed like I was four or five shots back all day," Finau said. "I really got things going in the middle of our back nine and once I took control of the tournament it was a whole different mindset to try and seal the deal.

Piercy began with a four-shot lead and remained ahead by following a 10-foot birdie at the second by holing a 30-footer from the fringe at the par-five sixth, with the American still four clear at the turn despite three-putting the eighth and bogeying the ninth.
