And now for something completely different. (You didn’t think I’d let NSD get in the way of our pro golf coverage, did you?)
Tournament: Waste Management Phoenix Open, February 2-5
Course: TPC Scottsdale (Stadium), 7,266 yards, par 71.
Purse: $6,700,000
Defending Champion: Hideki Matsuyama. The Man from Japan was down 2 strokes to Rickie Fowler in the final round, but the Puma-pusher in high tops (seriously) got wet on 17 and a 4 hole playoff ensued. Another Fowler shot found the drink and Matsuyama emerged with his first PGA Tour title.
