It was déjà vu all over again for Hideki Matsuyama on Super Bowl Sunday. Just like a year ago, Matsuyama found himself in a long playoff for the Waste Management Phoenix Open title. And, just like last year against Rickie Fowler, Matsuyama finished off the win on the fourth playoff hole — the short par-4 […]

17th sinks Fowler twice as Matsuyama wins Phoenix Open
February 8, 2016 by
Standing on the tee of the driveable par-4 17th at TPC Scottsdale, Rickie Fowler had a two-shot lead with two holes to play. Rather than lay up and play for a pair of closing pars that may be good enough to win, Fowler chose to drive the green. He didn’t feel he could carry a […]
