Ask anybody on tour and they all tell you the same thing: Tony Finau is one of the nicest guys in golf.

That’s why there was such disappointment at last week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open when the 30-year-old lost in a play-off to Webb Simpson.

Surprisingly, Finau still only has one win on the PGA Tour: the 2016 Puerto Rico Open.

He has finished second six times, third twice and has racked up an incredible 35 top-10 finishes in 151 PGA Tour starts.

One fan was so moved by the Ryder Cup star’s moss recent near-miss that he wrote a song to him, with a little help from the REO Speedwagon classic “Can’t Fight This Feeling”.

It is, quite honestly, brilliant. Check it out below…

You gotta love Tony! What a guy.
