Tony Finau is the 34th ranked golfer in the world and has a great shot at winning the Masters this weekend, but things got off to a rough start during the Par-3 challenge yesterday...

He competed in the Par-3 Contest . . . and things were looking UP when he hit a hole-in-one. Tony was excited . . . TOO excited. He started celebrating, and he rolled his ankle. BAD.

He was down on the ground for a moment . . . before he grabbed his foot and snapped it back into place and he kept on golfing.

He apparently DID dislocate the ankle. But X-rays later revealed no breaks. He'll have an MRI today, and if the results are positive, and the swelling is under control, he'll try to play. Tony said he's "optimistic."

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
