AUSTIN, Texas Two weeks ago Tony Finau was 70th in the Official World Golf Ranking and well outside the normal window to earn a spot into this weeks WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.But when the commitment list was released, things had changed dramatically, with five players choosing not to make the trip to Austin Country Club for this weeks event, so Finau was thrust into the role of first alternate.It was a particularly tough decision for Finau, who is the defending champion this week at the Puerto Rico Open, to take his chance at the Match Play.It was only this scenario that would pull me from Puerto Rico, Finau said. It was a tough decision because I loved being in Puerto Rico and I told the fans last year in my winning speech Id be back if I wasnt playing the Match Play, so it all kind of rang to me.

Finau could have remained committed to the Puerto Rico Open and defended his title had no one else withdrawn from the Match Play on Wednesday, but he said he wouldnt have been mentally prepared to play the opposite-field event and focused on the World Golf Championship.It was a no-brainer for me. Itd be tough being in Puerto Rico right now and someone withdrew [from the Match Play] and Im not here to take advantage of that, said Finau as he completed a nine-hole practice round on Tuesday. Id like to think Im going to play in this event in the years to come, so whether I get in this year or not Ive seen the golf course and look forward to the years to come.

JORDAN SPIETH: Well, it's vital. It allows you to control your own destiny. This week for me is really just about playing the Dell Technologies Championship. I'm not thinking much about the FedExCup.
