Tony Finau said on March 25 that he is focused on the task at hand — which is continuing his success at the Houston Open.

Finau sees Houston as perfect Masters prep

After all, the American won the event in 2022 and finished tied as a runner-up in 2024.

This week, Finau will look to record another strong showing at Memorial Park Golf Course while also fine-tuning his game with the Masters fast approaching.

"Anybody that asks me about my schedule, I always make sure they know I'm playing Houston and it's a good golf course," he said.

"I don't think that there's a better prep golf course leading up to the Masters than Memorial Park. It's a big golf course. I think they try to set it up where it's similar to Augusta National maybe to have guys play. I know that was the case many years ago when it was at other golf courses.
