Tony Finau made absolutely sure there was no repeat of last year’s dislocated ankle as he wore a fake protective boot in the Par 3 contest.
The American suffered the unfortunate injury during last year's traditional contest on the eve of the tournament while running down the seventh fairway backwards in celebration of a hole-in-one before he popped his ankle back in place.
