AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tony Finau will play on, despite a hole-in-one celebration gone horribly wrong.

Finau’s ace on the par-3 seventh during the Masters Tournament Par-3 Contest on Wednesday was a thing of beauty: flew the ball by the hole, pulled the string to back it up and watched it jam back some 30 feet straight into the cup.

So excited was Finau that he took off in a dead sprint, first forward, then backward, and that’s when it went wrong.

Finau’s left ankle buckled, he fell to the ground, and as he got up it appeared that he actually had to pop his ankle back into place.

  1. My right ankle does that – it's been happening every few months for the past two years (I damaged it severely in gymnastics 30 years ago). I usually pop it back in (I fall into my back and slap it back outward with my left hand) and I'm fine – it hurts for a bit, but I never even go to the doctor for it. But this last time it was so bad that I destroyed the tendon and have to have corrective surgery. The podiatrist has only seen it one other time in thirty years of practice. He wondered what it actually looks like when it happens, so I'm excited to show him this video when I go in for my surgery consult and to get out of the boot in a few weeks!

  2. I would wonder if Tony has the Marfan syndrome, which is tall, lanky, and bad connective tissue everywhere. That ankle sure looked like it, and if it's the case, he should be getting a thorough checkup.
