'I'm like a kid in a candy store'

Five-time PGA Tour winner Tony Finau believes the right attitude and a game seemingly built for Augusta will one day lead to a Green Jacket

'I'm like a kid in a candy store'

How are you so good at rebounding when the chips are down to overcome heartbreaks and close calls?

I think it starts with knowing that life isn’t fair. The really cool thing about sport and golf is that it parallels with life. Sometimes it can get you down and nobody is there to help you up, and you’ve got to push through on your own. But I’ve always had an attitude of gratitude, and I feel like that’s always carried me through. This is probably going to sound hard to believe, but I’ve done more in this game than I ever could have believed. If you took a deep dive into my deepest dreams as a kid, I don’t know I would have dreamed this far. I had dreams of winning The Masters and those things, but to this point in my career it’s more because of the hardships I faced through the way I got to the PGA Tour. It took me seven years from when I turned pro, so those seven years were extremely difficult, but I’ve always looked at the cup as half full. I’ve given myself chances to win and just looked at it as a learning experience. I’ve never kicked myself so hard to say ‘this is the worst thing of all time’ – that kind of thing.
