IN REMEMBRANCE — This Memorial Day, take time to celebrate your loved ones — both those who are around and those who sacrificed everything to give you what you have today.

Let’s also take a look back at some of our favorite moments in sports from the weekend.

Tony Finau apologizes with flowers

The Lehi resident and former West High basketball standout didn’t have a great weekend at the Dean & DeLuca Invitational at Colonial Country Club. Finau carded a 3-over-par 73 on Sunday to drop to a 31st-place finish, and his tee shots were all over the place during his final round.

One of those errant balls struck a woman in the gallery, named Elisa, on the head.

She’s OK, but Finau felt so bad for hitting her, he sought her after the tournament and apologized like any good man to a woman he might have offended: by buying her flowers and chocolate.

Utah golfers know Finau’s good-natured kindness well, and it looks like Elisa appreciated the gesture, too.

Jordan Spieth does the same

Spieth pulled a similar feat Sunday during his final round, striking a marshal with one of his shots — and he felt equally bad.

The eight-time PGA Tour winner tried to make up for the miscue by signing a glove for the marshal to keep as a souvenir, and karma apparently found him immediately.

Spieth dropped a remarkable approach shot on No. 17 for birdie, the same hole he injured the marshal, and even he can’t believe he did it.

Karma works.

KSL outdoor host's special prep softball moment

Not every high school softball player gets to win a state title, and fewer still get to win a championship on a walk-off home run.

Riverton’s Taylor Eakle got to experience both last Thursday — and because of a proud parent, the whole thing got a pretty nice recording.

Eakle is the daughter of KSL outdoors host Adam Eakle, and the proud papa was in the front row to capture the Silverwolves’ dramatic win over West High with his recording equipment.

Check out the footage below.

Not bad; this Adam Eakle guy might have a future in television. ![](https://beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif?cid=404488&pid=4)
