Chris Gotterup Wins WM Phoenix Open After Hideki Matsuyama’s 18th-Hole Slip

Matsuyama led late at TPC Scottsdale but bogeyed 18 to force a playoff with Gotterup at -16. It was his win to close. In the extra hole, his tee shot ricocheted off a spectator’s back and splashed into the water. He saved par with a remarkable recovery, yet Gotterup drilled a nerveless long birdie putt to steal the trophy Sunday.
