Finau came so close to recording his biggest win on tour last week at the WGC-HSBC Champions. He took the lead into Sunday and played fairly well. Ultimately, Xander Schauffele made a big run and beat him in a playoff. It’s only a matter of time before Finau picks off a big event, but for now, we’ll settle for the Shriners. You certainly can’t argue with his form — 2nd, 4th, 8th, 15th, and 2nd in his last five events. He’s ranked first in this field in birdie or better percentage, first in par four scoring, and second in par five scoring. His preferred putting surface is bentgrass (he actually gains 0.1 strokes per round) and he’s never missed a cut at this event. It’s a good week to employ a stars and scrubs approach, as there are a number of intriguing value plays.
