In the shifting winds of a Minnesota Sunday, Tony Finau reminded the game of golf — and perhaps anyone watching — that a lead is never a possession, only a temporary condition. What began as Scott Piercy's tournament to lose became exactly that, as Finau's patient, composed pursuit transformed a five-stroke deficit into a three-stroke victory at the 3M Open. The third career win for the Utah native was less a story of brilliance imposed than of steadiness maintained while another man's certainty dissolved.
