Finau finished fifth that week, but his late final-round tee time at a major was certainly no fluke.

HAMILTON, Ontario (AP) — Rory McIlroy ran away with the RBC Canadian Open, closing with a 9-under 61 on Sunday for a seven-shot victory. Starting the day in a three-way tie for the lead, McIlroy, who won THE PLAYERS Championship in March, ended any suspense about who would emerge as the champion with five birdies in his first seven holes, none from longer than 8 feet.
