Sports briefly: Tony Finau's shot at record splashes down, leading to tie for lead at Texas Open

Tony Finau arrived at the 18th tee with a chance at a course record, but his approach splashed in the water and his bogey dropped him into a second-round tie for the lead with Bud Cauley at the PGA Tour's Valero Texas Open on Friday in San Antonio.

A birdie at the par-5 final hole would have given Finau a share of the course record, but he settled for a 7-under 65 and is tied with Cauley at 8 under through 36 holes at TPC San Antonio.

Cauley, a former NCAA standout at Alabama who's yet to win through six seasons as a pro, had a lead at the halfway point after his 66 in the morning.

Ian Poulter, Europe's Ryder Cup star, missed the cut and lost his fully exempt status on the PGA Tour. He fell about $30,000 short of the required earnings to keep his status through a medical exemption because of a foot injury last year.

After his approach landed in shallow water fronting the 18th green, Finau played it out and chipped it past the green, rather than take the penalty drop.

"I did the same thing yesterday after going for the green [in two]," Finau said. "I got up and down yesterday. I know lightning doesn't always strike twice."
