Wed Apr 09 20:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Golfer Finau Finishes Strong Despite Dislocating Ankle at Masters Debut
**Augusta, Georgia** – Tony Finau displayed remarkable resilience at the 2018 Masters Tournament, finishing tied for 10th place despite dislocating his ankle the day before the event. The incident occurred during the celebratory jump following a hole-in-one at the Par 3 Contest. After quickly relocating his ankle himself and receiving medical clearance following X-rays, Finau competed, ultimately shooting seven-under-par.
This impressive performance marked Finau’s first appearance at Augusta National. While eight shots behind winner Patrick Reed, his finish showcased his determination and skill. The injury, which involved significant bruising and swelling, was documented by Finau on social media.
Since then, Finau has become a Masters regular, boasting seven appearances and a best finish of fifth place in 2019, just two shots behind Tiger Woods. He’s also achieved a tied-10th finish in 2021 and has never missed the cut at Augusta. The 35-year-old, currently ranked 34th in the world, aims for his first major championship win this year.
