Riding on the wake of two strong weekend rounds of 65, Hunter Mahan surged to his second career victory with this win at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Y.E. Yang took control of this tournament early in the back nine, leading at -15. A shot dumped in the water on 17 led to a bogey and eventual third place. Hunter gained big momentum with an eagle on 13, and poured in two more birdies to come in at -16. Ricky Fowler, the runner-up in this tournament, sat at -15, one shot off the pace when he came to the par five 15. Despite being in the fairway, he chose to lay up, failed to make birdie, and missed three makeably birdie putts coming into the clubhouse. However, this is a spectacular finish for the young rookie who has already carded two second place finishes on tour. The future looks bright for the former Oklahoma State player.
Congratulations to Hunter for his win at the Waste Management Phoenix Open!
