SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Billy Horschel appears in position to finally contend at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, and he has exactly one club to thank for his sudden success.
Horschel has been a mainstay at this event, and this week marks his eighth straight trip to TPC Scottsdale. But he’s cracked the top 20 only once, that coming in his 2013 debut when he tied for 11th.
“I love this event. It’s always an event that I want to play really well in,” Horschel said. “I’ve probably put too much pressure on myself over the last couple years to try, and today I just woke up with a sense of calm and ease and it was like, whatever happens today happens.
