Tony Finau ‘can’t forget’ Sir Nick Faldo’s prediction during the 2022 3M Open

Tony Finau is a 6-time winner on the PGA Tour. However, one of his most memorable wins of his illustrious career was predicted by one of golf's biggest legends, Sir Nick Faldo.

The 2022 3M Open was played at the iconic TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. With ten holes left to be played for the tournament to be concluded, Sir Nick Faldo stated that Finau would win the tournament, which left his fellow commentator shocked. From the commentator's booth, the retired golfer went on to say that the prediction is a reason for viewers at home to keep watching.

The 36-year-old posted a throwback of Sir Nick Faldo making the prediction on his Instagram Story with a simple message for him (via Instagram @tonyfinaugolf):

"Great call, Sir Nick! Can't forget that one! 🏆👏🏼 @faldo006 @finaufresh."

The call from Sir Nick Faldo three hours before the tournament ended shocked many members of the golf community as Scott Piercy began the final round of the 2022 3M Open with a four-stroke lead.

Tony Finau conveyed that his victory at the 2022 3M Open was one of his most unforgettable moments in his 10 years on the PGA Tour. Building on the momentum from the win, he went on to bag another victory the following week at the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic.
