PGA Tour - WM Phoenix Open
Chris Gotterup secured his second victory of the season in dramatic fashion at the WM Phoenix Open, overcoming Hideki Matsuyama on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff at TPC Scottsdale. The 26-year-old American staged a late charge during the final round, carding a seven-under-par 64 that included five birdies in his final six holes to finish the tournament at 16-under. Matsuyama, who had held the 54-hole lead, struggled with his accuracy off the tee throughout the day and eventually handed the advantage to Gotterup after pulling his drive into the water during the playoff. Gotterup capitalised on the error, holing a brilliant 27-foot birdie putt to claim his fourth career PGA Tour title. Elsewhere, world number one Scottie Scheffler finished in a tie for third at 15-under-par, falling just one shot short of the playoff after a superb closing round of 64.
