PGA Tour : WM Phoenix Open Tee Times
Mac Hughes put together a workman like round 4 birdie 1 bogey -3 68 at the Stadium course, to lead the Canadian contingent T13.
With a huge crowd in attendance on this Super Bowl weekend rookie AJ Ewart who was an alternative and got in as the PGA Tour accommodated Brooke Keopka and had to increase the field to make up the pairings, was next T27 -2 69.
Nick Taylor T56 E 71, Corey Conners T76 +1 72 and the other rookie Sudarshan Yellamaraju T105 +3 74.
Meanwhile in the news Scottie Scheffler had a merely mortal round of +2 73 T89 10 shots off the lead, and Brooke Keopka was worse T109 +4 75 Wouldn't it be something if these two who have gotten all the media attention, missed the cut altogether.
American Chris Gotterup at 26, got all our attention during his two weeks in Britain last July when he beat Rory to win the Genesis Scottish Open then T3 at the Open Championship.
He is the real deal, his Dad is an amateur legend in New Jersey with a slew of titles to his name. His -8 63 has the 18 hole lead, he won the Sony earlier in Hawaii for his 3rd win, and hits it a mile.
European Ryder Cup star Matt Fitzpatrick torched the front nine with birdies in 7 of 9 holes for a record tying 29, and would be the leader if not for bogey's at 17 and 18 for -6 65.
