Tony Finau set to headline RSM Classic after cruising to Houston Open glory

Tony Finau was the 18-1 winner of the Houston Open on Sunday - the giant Utah man cruising to a four-shot success at Memorial Park Golf Course.

Finau was eight shots ahead with six holes to play, dominating the event from Friday morning onwards, becoming a five-time PGA Tour champion. Three of those victories have come in the last four months.

Both of last week's winners are scheduled to go to post again on Thursday. Finau is in the field for the RSM Classic on the PGA Tour, while Tommy Fleetwood, the 9-1 winner of the Nedbank Challenge on Sunday, is among the favourites for the DP World Tour Championship on the DP World Tour.

A high-class field is gathering in Dubai for the DP World Tour season finale, including world number one Rory McIlroy, US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick, BMW PGA Championship victor Shane Lowry, as well as Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland.

McIlroy leads the Race to Dubai going into the final event. Ryan Fox, Fitzpatrick and Fleetwood are next in the RTD list.

Finau will be joined for the much more low-key RSM Classic in Georgia by Jason Day and Webb Simpson.
