Nick Taylor posts the fifth-ever 60 at the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale

Nick Taylor knows TPC Scottsdale like the back of his hand and it showed on Friday.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Nick Taylor knows TPC Scottsdale like the back of his hand and it showed on Friday.

The Canadian native, who lives not far from the course and practices here regularly, tied the course record with an 11-under 60 to take a five-stroke lead over four golfers after the first round of the WM Phoenix Open.

“I’ve probably never putted that well,” said Taylor, who made 184 feet, 1 inch of putts using a claw grip in the first round, gaining 7.145 strokes on the greens. “Yeah, saw the lines great, and it was a continuation of last night.”

It marked the second straight round on the PGA Tour over a span of two tournaments and six days that a player shot 60 with preferred lies being in effect due to weather conditions. (Wyndham Clark shot 12-under 60 at Pebble Beach on Saturday during the third round.) Taylor’s five-shot lead is the largest 18-hole lead in WM tournament history and the largest at any Tour event since Jim Gallagher Jr. shot 63 at Olympic Club to lead by five after the opening round of the 1993 Tour Championship.

Taylor, who is making his 10th career appearance at the WM Phoenix Open and started on the front nine Thursday, played just six holes as a result of a 3-hour, 30 minute delay due to rain, which was followed by the suspension of play due to darkness. Despite unseasonably chilly conditions that sent the temperature dipping into the 40s, he was off to a hot start, making three birdies in his first six holes. On Friday morning, there was a 103-minute frost delay but when Taylor started at the par-3 16th, the cold didn’t bother the Canadian.

“I’ve played enough in it where I kind of know what to expect,” said Taylor, who was runner-up to Scottie Scheffler at the WM Phoenix Open.

Taylor planted his tee shot 9 feet from the hole and sank the putt. Then he started a string of four birdies in a row beginning at 18, including draining a 21-foot birdie putt at No. 2 and wedging to a foot at the par-5 third. He cooled off with four pars in a row, but the last of them, at No. 7, felt like a birdie. After catching a little too much ball with his bunker shot, his putter bailed him out and rescued par with a 21-foot putt.

Asked if he had 59 in his mind, he said, “After a missed opportunity probably on 6 and sneaking away with par on 7, it was kind of done there. I wanted to keep the round going and finish it off.”

Taylor, who became a national hero last summer when he became the first Canadian to win the RBC Canadian Open in 69 years, tacked on birdies at the final two holes, canning putts of 15 feet and 9 feet to tie the course record and shoot a personal-best nine-hole score of 29 on his second nine. Taylor became the fourth different golfer to shoot 60 during the WM Phoenix Open, joining Grant Waite, the first to do so in the final round in 1996, Mark Calcavecchia, second round in 2001, and Phil Mickelson, who did it twice – second round in 2005 and first round in 2013. It marked the 55th 60 in Tour history and the third this season (Nick Dunlap in the third round of The American Express was the first).

“I essentially made every putt I looked at,” said Taylor, who took just 23 putts, hit 13 of 14 fairways and 16 of 18 greens. “It was a day that you don’t want it to end. Luckily I’m going to play another round here, so hopefully I can keep that going. But everything has worked really well.”

Taylor had a quick, 30-minute turnaround for his second-round tee time and proceeded to hit his opening drive into the native area and had to take a penalty stroke. He made his first bogey of the tournament but it still does little to tarnish the lowest round of his Tour career.

Thanks to $3.6 million first-place check, Scottie Scheffler is now leading money winner in WM Phoenix Open tournament history

Thanks to the $3.6 million first-place check, Scheffler takes over the top spot on the Phoenix Open money list.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Phil Mickelson, who played the WM Phoenix Open 30 times, long held the title as leading money winner in event history.

Scottie Scheffler, now the winner of back-to-back events at TPC Scottsdale, has surpassed Mickelson’s money total in just four outings.

Mickelson last played the tournament at TPC Scottsdale in 2020. He made $4,198,678 over those 30 appearances.

But thanks to the $3.6 million first-place check – out of a $20 million purse due the tournament’s 2023 status as a designated event – Scheffler has now earned $5,305,342 to take over the top spot on the Phoenix Open money list.

Scheffler won $1,705,342 over his first three outings at TPC Scottsdale, including $1,476,000 for winning in 2022. He’s the second golfer after Hideki Matsuyama in 2016 and 2017 to defend his title at the Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale.

Nick Taylor finished second and pocketed $2,180,000, which is about $700,000 more than Scheffler earned for winning in 2020.

Third-place money of $1,380,000 went to Jon Rahm, who had earned $904,020 in seven previous starts at the Phoenix Open.

Justin Thomas finished solo fourth and banked $980,000. Jason Day earned $820,000 for his solo fifth-place finish.

Scottie Scheffler defends title at 2023 WM Phoenix Open, returns to world No. 1

“He’s got so many weapons to use,” caddie Ted Scott said of Scheffler’s fifth PGA Tour win without his A game.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Scottie Scheffler refused to give up the title of WM Phoenix Open champion.

The 26-year-old Texan made a clutch 15-foot par putt at 16 and shot 6-under 65 at TPC Scottsdale to win the WM Phoenix Open for a second straight year. On Sunday, Scheffler held off a star-studded leaderboard and a pesky underdog who chased him to the finish.

“I knew it was going to take a great round,” Scheffler said. “Nobody was going to give this golf tournament to me. I had to go out and earn it. I was definitely proud of the result.”

Scheffler’s 19-under 265 total was two strokes better than Nick Taylor and secured his fifth PGA Tour title and first win since the Masters in April. It also lifted him back to the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking.

In October, Scheffler had relinquished No. 1 to Rory McIlroy, who edged him out at the Tour Championship to win the FedEx Cup in August. This week, the likes of world No. 3 Jon Rahm, fellow major winners Jordan Spieth and Jason Day and Rickie Fowler, who is on the comeback trail, were hot on his heels. But it turned out to be Canadian Nick Taylor, a Scottsdale transplant who practices and plays at TPC Scottsdale and had never experienced any success at the WM Phoenix Open, who put up the biggest fight. In his previous eight starts in the tournament, he had never finished better than T-40. He labeled himself the underdog and at No. 223 in the world, he was the party crasher at the$20-million-designated event. He made six birdies in his first 13 holes and was bogey-free until missing a 7-foot par putt at 16. Taylor matched Scheffler with 65, finishing two strokes back in second, and earning the largest check of his career ($2.18 million).

“I played great today. I felt like I didn’t really make any mistakes maybe until 16,” Taylor said. “I would love the chip back (which raced 7 feet by the hole). I felt like that was one I could potentially hole. It was still a tricky chip, but one I would like to do little bit better.”

Scheffler, who banked a winner’s check worth $3.6 million, was even par on the par 5’s for the first three rounds, doing most of his damage on the par 4s, where he led the field with a 12-under total. But in the final round he man-handled the first two par 5s, sinking a 10-foot birdie putt at the third. Taylor caught Scheffler with a birdie at No. 10, knocking his approach to 3 feet, but Scheffler took control of the tournament for good by hitting driver and an 8-iron to 22 feet at the par-5 13th and rolling in the eagle putt. Scheffler raised his putter when the ball was still several feet from the cup as there was never a doubt in his mind. He clenched his right fist in delight.

Scheffler overcame an erratic driver – he didn’t hit his first fairway in the final round until the eighth hole and just 5 of 14 in all – with pinpoint irons and a putter that was more friend than foe. He ranked first in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, SG: Approach-the-Green and scrambling (14 of 16).

“He’s got so many weapons to use,” Scheffler’s caddie Ted Scott said. “Tiger used to say he didn’t have his ‘A game’ and he’d win. Scottie’s so tough mentally and his game is so good that he’s the type of player that he can get it done sometimes when he doesn’t have his ‘A game.’”

Scheffler, who was bogey-free in the final round and made only two bogeys all week, may be penning a valentine to TPC Scottsdale before long as he has played in the final threesome at the WM Phoenix Open in three straight years. A year ago, Scheffler rallied from two strokes behind to win his maiden title. This time, Scheffler had the benefit of a two-stroke cushion going into the final round. The outcome was in doubt until Scheffler saved par with his clutch par putt at 16 and moments later Taylor’s par effort failed to drop.

“I miss that putt on 16 it’s probably a little different story,” Scheffler said. “I bet Nick’s putt probably goes in.”

Scheffler’s lead swelled to two and he tacked on a birdie at 17 for good measure.

“I felt like I responded really well to the pressure those guys applied to me down the stretch,” Scheffler said. “The putter was, for sure, the key to the victory and I tip my cap to those guys and fortunately I came out on top. I’m looking forward to more battles with them.”

In the 87-year history of the tournament, Scheffler became the seventh player to successfully defend his title, joining the likes of Ben Hogan, Jimmy Demaret, Lloyd Mangrum, Arnold Palmer, Johnny Miller, all of whom are in the World Golf Hall of Fame, and most recently Hideki Matsuyama in 2017.

Rahm, who had a chance to reclaim World No. 1 had he won, shot 67 and finished third, five strokes back. Reigning PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas closed in 65, the 65th time he’s shot 65 or lower since the beginning of 2015, to finish fourth.

Fowler, the 2019 WM Phoenix Open champion, made a hole-in-one at the 216-yard par-3 seventh hole, but followed it with back-to-back bogeys and shot 70 to finish T-10. McIlroy, who entered the week at No. 1, finished T-32.

Watch: Rickie Fowler makes a hole-in-one during final round of 2023 WM Phoenix Open

It wasn’t the famed 16th hole but an ace is an ace and Rickie Fowler now has one at the WM Phoenix Open.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — It wasn’t the famed 16th hole but an ace is an ace and Rickie Fowler now has one at the WM Phoenix Open.

Fowler, who last won on the PGA Tour at the 2019 Phoenix Open, was 9 under through six holes when he arrived at the long par-3 7th hole.

Measuring 216 yards, Fowler dialed in his 6-iron to perfection. It’s the first ace at the tournament this year. It’s his third on the PGA Tour.

“I’ve been good mates with Rickie for a long time. We came out pretty much the same year. I understand what he’s going through. I think he understands what I’m going through as well. So it’s nice to see him playing some really good golf,” said playing partner Jason Day. “Very rarely do you see a hole-in-one as well. It was nice to be able to see him hole out because obviously when he holes out they’re going to go even crazier.”

It’s the fifth ace in tournament history at the 7th hole and first one there since Scott Piercy accomplished the feat in the second round in 2020 from 194 yards.

There has been a hole-in-one during the tournament in six of the last nine years.

Golf stats guru Justin Ray also reports it’s the 14th career eagle at TPC Scottsdale for Fowler.

[pickup_prop id=”31670″]

The circled 1 on the scorecard took Fowler to 11 under at the time, four back of leader Scottie Scheffler.

“It was insane, just seeing that,” said fan Jamal Williamson, 23, from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, “because everybody who was hitting, at first, they were getting some solid swings. But once that one went off, everybody was going crazy over here. That was great to see, and I got it on video. It’s my first time ever out here at a golf tournament, so to videotape a hole-in-one was insane. Rickie, at that?”

Greg Spurlock, 61, from Riverside, California, also witnessed the shot.

“That’s the first hole-in-one I’ve seen live and I’ve played golf forever,” Spurlock said. “That was kind of cool.”

Take another look – and listen – from PGA Tour radio:

Watch: Brittney Griner attends WM Phoenix Open, meets Tony Finau, and is starstruck?

When they parted ways, Griner blushed and fanned her face. Starstruck, she was asked? “Oh, yeah,” she said.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Among the 15,000 or so fans gathered at the arena that is the par-3 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale, WNBA star Brittney Griner watched Tony Finau on Saturday at the WM Phoenix Open.

Griner, who plays for the Phoenix Mercury, made just her second public appearance since her release from a Russian prison, where she was held for nearly 10 months, in December.

Griner walked the final three holes with Finau’s group from inside the ropes. She and Finau share the same representatives and she claimed to be a big fan of Finau, who won twice on the PGA Tour last season, most recently in November at the Cadence Bank Houston Open. After Finau belted a 360-yard drive and made birdie at the last, the two athletes met and Griner said she’d like to return the favor by having Finau come to one of her Mercury games.

When they parted ways, Griner blushed and fanned her face. Starstruck, she was asked?

“Oh, yeah,” she said. “He and Tony Hawk. It must be the Tonys.”

According to the Associated Press, she previously attended a Martin Luther King Jr. march in downtown Phoenix. Teammate Diana Taurasi was also in attendance.

At 2023 WM Phoenix Open, Rickie Fowler’s return to contention feels right

Since his win at the 2019 Phoenix Open, he’s wandered the golf wilderness.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — If you wanted to encapsulate the Rickie Fowler experience, or what’s become of it over the past four years, you could do a whole lot worse than the 14th tee box Saturday afternoon.

For the fans adorning the hill abutting Scottsdale Road, Fowler’s driver head meeting golf ball served as a starting gun. These might be the farthest recesses of TPC Scottsdale, but where Fowler goes, the party follows. So as his ball soared through the air, the hollers rose. “Let ‘em hang, Rickie,” yelled one fan. The more common refrain was a three-word rhyme not fit for print. It starts with Big and ends with Rick, if that helps.

On the PGA Tour, this is rarified air. Golfers seldom have cult followings. The Thunderbirds could let 120 or so of this week’s 134 participants stroll the grounds Sunday and it wouldn’t earn much more than a sideways murmur from the biggest golf die-hards.

Rickie? Rickie is one of the others.

The Thunderbirds — the Phoenix Open’s organizers — were among the first to recognize as much. Back in 2009, when Fowler was still an amateur at Oklahoma State, they invited him to the tournament as an exempt entry. That was, in part, because they could see his unique talent. It was also because they could see his unique appeal.

2023 WM Phoenix Open

That all congealed in 2014. On the course, Fowler finished in the top five of all four majors. He became golf’s next superstar, and had the swagger to match. His trademark Sunday look made orange a golf color and Puma an outfitting choice at munis across the country.

All of which brings us back to Saturday, at the 14th hole. For those fans, the Fowler of 2014 lives on.

The thin green ropes of a golf course, though, have a funny way of separating vision from reality. So it was on 14. As fans serenaded Fowler, the man himself buckled to one knee, begging a wayward ball to find its way back to the fairway. So it was on 15, too, where the fans erupted as he leaned to his left watching his drive sail into the desert brush. No matter, the crowd rose again when Fowler went for that par five’s green in two, taking aim at the middle clearing of a V-shaped tree. Again, the actual results betrayed them. Fowler’s ball found water.

This is the Rickie Fowler experience of late.

Since his win at the 2019 Phoenix Open, he’s wandered the golf wilderness. Over the last three seasons, his stats were as follows: 60 events played, no wins, four top 10s, 24 missed cuts. In the FedEx Cup standings, he finished 94th, 134th and 133rd.

“It’s been a tough couple of years trying to grind through things and work on some changes and ultimately feel comfortable,” Fowler said last year.

Certainly, that was visible Saturday. Fowler’s struggles off the tee were no mirage. He found just six of 14 fairways and, in his words, was “just managing our way around.”

But for once, that isn’t the full story. Take those same holes on Saturday’s back nine.

On 14, Fowler got himself to the fringe out of the left rough, setting up a two-putt par. On 15, he stuck a pitch to four feet from the drop zone. Crisis averted: par. After finding water off the tee with a pull hook on 17, he drained a tricky 13-footer for another par save.

“Did a great job of managing and scoring and kind of keeping things moving forward,” Fowler said.

And so things moved forward to 18, with Fowler occupying a space he seldom has over these past four years. Beyond the green, an electronic scoreboard showed Fowler inside the top 10 at 8 under for the week. Fans stood to attention, already in their places to watch the leaders come through minutes later. Fowler’s element.

So, from 121 yards out, he pulled out a sand wedge and provided the day’s pièce de résistance.

One bounce, then two, and there it was. Fowler’s ball nestled up mere inches from the hole. Before his tap-in birdie to move to 9 under, he pumped his arms, waving the crowd into a guttural roar.

“It’s fun to play with the fans out here when you can,” Fowler said. “I felt pretty confident from there and I had that one under control. So anything to get the fans involved and make sure they’re having a good time.”

For four years, these moments have been desperately lacking. Golf has missed them. And Fowler has missed them.

“Really the last few years haven’t been in this position a whole lot,” Fowler said. “No, it never gets old. But it’s nothing really different. We’ve been here before. So just kind of have to soak it up and have fun.”

Fowler denied the notion that his struggles change anything, fundamentally, about the experience of being in contention. The joy of walking off 18 just four strokes back with Sunday of a meaningful tournament looming is still joy, same as it ever was.

But this is not Rickie Fowler, same as he ever was. He’s got wrinkles now, an elder statesman during the Tour’s youth movement. The skater boy hair that used to pop out from beneath his golf cap is long gone. As he spoke with a reporter following Saturday’s news conference, his eyes lit up, spotting his one-year old daughter, Maya, waddling towards him, calling out for “dada.” When his media responsibilities were done, parental duty took over. On the player’s patio beside the TPC Scottsdale clubhouse, he played with Maya, twirling her in his arms until she was too tired to laugh anymore.

The soundtrack to their father-daughter session was familiar. From beyond the utility golf carts and media podium, a few fans had spotted him. “Ric-kie, Ric-kie,” came the chants.

The Rickie Fowler experience, meet Rickie Fowler.

Scottie Scheffler in position to defend, Jon Rahm hot in pursuit and more from moving day at the 2023 WM Phoenix Open

Here’s what you need to know following the third round in Arizona.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. – Scottie Scheffler is right where he wants to be.

The defending WM Phoenix Open champion didn’t have his best stuff on Saturday, but pieced together a 3-under 68 at TPC Scottsdale to build a two-stroke lead over Spain’s Jon Rahm and Canada’s Nick Taylor. In doing so, he became the first defending champion to hold the 54-hole lead.

No defending champion at TPC Scottsdale has held the 54-hole lead before Scheffler.

“I felt like I’ve been on the outside looking in on Sundays. To be in the final group with a two-shot lead, I believe, is definitely a position I want to be in,” he said.

Scheffler, 26, who was tied for the 36-hole lead, took advantage of a good bounce off a cactus on his tee shot at the second hole and drained a 47-foot birdie putt. His lead grew to as many as three shots, but the 13th, which played as the easiest hole of the day was anything but for Scheffler. His errant drive left at the par 5 cost him his lone bogey of the day and just the second by any of the 66 players to make the cut. He temporarily lost the lead to Xander Schauffele, but Scheffler bounced back at the difficult 14th hole, striking a 5-iron to 4 feet to set up a birdie that righted the ship. He called it the best shot of his round and caddied Ted Scott agreed. “That shot was sick,” he said.

“I didn’t hit it as well today as I hoped to. But still got around in 3 under. Kept the ball in play for the most part. Just kept plugging along. Only one bogey was good today,” Scheffler said.

Scheffler is seeking to be the first to defend his title here since Hideki Matsuyama in 2017 (before that Johnny Miller did so in 1974-75) and his first win since the Masters last April. A victory on Sunday would have an added bonus, as he would also reclaim the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking provided that current World No. 1 Rory Mcilroy finishes outside of solo third (he’s currently T-28).
