Memorial Round 1 Recap: Finau leads, breaking down Tiger’s return (7/16)

This ain’t the Workday Charity Open. PGA Tour pros battled a hellacious Muirfield Village in blustery conditions today. The course proved to be a true challenge, with average scores being over a stroke higher than they were at last week’s Workday Charity Open (1:36). Tony Finau holds the lead after an astonishing first round 66. The flat-stick was hot for Tony today as he gained nearly 4.5 strokes putting. Is this type of performance sustainable through the weekend (3:55)? Tiger Woods was the center of the golf universe today. How are our analysts grading his first round performance at the Memorial (10:50)? We wrap with some players to keep an eye on heading into the weekend, is anyone further down the leaderboard worth a wager to win (9:57)?
