Here comes rickie, joking around with one of the camera guys. Coming up to join rickie. Record. Good luck. Okay. Rickie is going to play first. Hideki is 10 with that playoff victory at the memorial. And kevin na, the first playoff hole. So, rickie to play first, see if he can grab another long range drive here like hes done the last two days. Well, he might try doing it a little different way than he did on the 72nd hole. But im sure hed love to have it where it ended up. Gear on that tee shot. He has more speed when he wants it. So i would play it just inside the church pews for a little baby cut for him. Cutting a little bit up the right side. But this, i think, will be okay. Good shot, rog. Not quite as deep as hes been. Its a good one. A great performance by matsuyama here in phoenix. The tie for fourth and the tie for second. The last two years. Trying to finish on top, finally. Shot. In the same line. Good one for hideki. Just behind fowler. Matsuyama will play a second hole. Sudden death at the waste after they both made birdie at pebble beach, one of your favorite spots, johnny, the morning drive crew can show your trip to the most famous golf course in america. Dont miss the morning drive view tomorrow at 7 00 on golf channel. Its going to be great weather. 74 degrees tomorrow. Back here to the fairway, rickie hanging back a little bit. In the tournament thats been around for 80 years. First playoff 2011, mark wolfner beat jason deckner. Rickie would move into the top ten with a victory, and ten. Rickie is walking slowly for a reason. Think. I like that, johnny. Yeah, i do, too. I think thats very smart. Slow everything down. Take your time. As you look at the long history in the tournament. You look at the International Winners who won through the years. Hideki matsuyama with a chance to join that group, vijay singh. And bobby lott back in 1948 winning here in the valley of the sun. The americans have taken charge of it the last phoenix opens. Theyve won the last anticipate. Bobby locke, one of the greatest that ever lived. Even though i was in diapers when he played. I played with bobby locke. Once . Yeah. Riding behind right behind him i should say. 119 yards left for hideki. A nice clean line. Flag in the front here. Willing to only dangerous, johnny. I think both of them realize probably going to take a birdie to win it. Theyve got to be thinking birdie. Just a twoshot, i think birdie. That was crisp. Rickies got a big opening here. Wonderful shot by hideki. 116, sand iron. Not as good an angle. Take that aim. Ooh, way short. Quite a slope up the hill for it. Im not sure he caught all of that. Its short. Take a look at this swing. Able to catch something, really nice solid right there. Got a lot of give on that. Im not sure he got all of that. Looks pretty heavy to me. No. Hes going over to his caddie to say, maybe i didnt hit it as well as i could have. But got way behind. One of the bigger divots weve seen all week from rickie. Close, you got to take the risk of hitting it short to throw it in and cope with that first bounce. Right. Ive got to believe its revenge of hideki matsuyama, huh . Down the hill with rickie. Of course, he did pitch one iron, rickie did. I dont think rickie has the kind of pitch shot that he can land it on the green. Probably a wonderful spot to be, really. Especially with everything at stake. Its one of those nerveracking shots youve got to make. You can hit that with a lot of different clubs, huh, roger . Well, well see if that once again. Im looking at that green again, johnny, its very close as to whether he can land it on the green. He has to really, really pinch it to get it to do that. Well, theres your answer. Textbook, right. You ran it in, you know, the size of a basketball hoop, right where he wanted. Matsuyama will have a chance to put it away. Putt it out. So, hideki is going to have to battle here, its going to take two straight birdie. And he did exactly what roger described. Hill just short of the green. Textbook. Executed perfectly by fowler with the pressure packed on. All right. Matsuyama, this putt away from putting away the Waste Management phoenix open to go along with jack in 2014. David, a little lefttoright putt here . Yeah, not much. The green, not a whole lot going green. Downhill, very quick. Just needs to be careful. Very consistent here, finished 17 holes at 14 under. Scored all three years. Playoff. And heres the birdie that could it would be a crushing defeat for fowler. Two up with two holes to go. Theyre going to go back to 18. Fowler survives it. Clutch by him for the tapin par, and matsuyama unable to convert the potential birdie winner. As we play out in scottsdale. So we know how to cover almost anything. Even a stag pool party. party music splashing destruction splashing destruction burke and we covered it, october twentyseventh, 2014. Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. Waste management phoenix open continues at tpc scottsdale, following fowler and matsuyama coming off a playoff. 10th, see if it cant be decided there. Well, you would think with the pressure and everything that one of them might crack. Not like this holes a piece of cake. Got the shadows. See if rickie can drill ball looking really good there. A little bit left to his left. Looking really good. Man, this guy can drive it with a solid iron. A bit of a divot there. Now, its funny with all of the noise and distraction all week, all of a sudden, it got quiet. And those little noise, noticeable. Yeah, they kind of blend in earlier in the week, dont they . Yeah, thats right. All of the people are real golf fans. They know the game. Thats another rip snorter, this one down the left. The guys are not missing a shot. Putting on a show. At the place they call the greatest show on grass. Fowler and matsuyama still battling for the title. Whos going to crack first . Each day, brings new possibilities. Thats why you need a partner to helping your Company Reach u. S. Bank the power of fowler and matsuyama making their way up to another couple brilliant tee shots here at 18. Sudden death playoff. Second time now to 18. Again, just going to take a third, back to the 10th, back to 17th, back to 18. But maybe it will be decided here. The ighth oldest event on the pga tour. First plays in 1932. With the idea of how this tournament is growing, at that time, the population of phoenix and the surrounding community, johnny, was around 70,000. There are 2plus million in that population category now. Set records in attendance this week. So, this phoenix open, this tournament especially. They used to play at the Phoenix Country Club on different years. Tournaments that all great players played in. Important tournament. Yes. Its the time of year in the early 60s, here we are in 2016 in the desert with 23yearold matsuyama and 27yearold fowler. Also, that wedge shot, you guys take over from here. David, dont you think being as they both have wedge shots, wouldnt you want to be the first one to hit . You could really put on a lot of pressure. Well, technical difficulties with davids mike right now. Trying to get that taken care of. You can seat drive, 322. So, well see, roger if that puts a little pressure on fowler with a nice wedge. As before, you have to take on that front edge. You land it short youre coming down the hill like they did earlier. But you cant land it too far on if youre going to hit it stone way up in the air. Right over it. A little checkup on it. But he gets on it, not much break. From above. Really hit a solid strike there. Like you said, almost got caught up in the flag or the flagstick. And leaves himself just a little break right. Not much. Fowlers stepping in. 102. Time for a leaner. Thats definitely carrying a little farther north. Contest from there. Again. Remember what they did in regulation. Weve been talking about it all week. How popular he is. Heres a nice wide view of his friends watching this approach. So, rickie trying to finish it off. Off. A battle. From regulation, this is coming off of a bird day from matsuyamas 17. Birdie evened it up there. Rickie going over and getting a good look at it. Absolutely dead perfect. And he played it straight. Right in the middle. And heres the one that looked like it might not drop. Back for some reason. So, that was regulation. First playoff hole they exchanged it. Rickie got it lined up for birdies. Theres the ricketts as you call them. Fowler is two inches farther away from matsuyama. 14 feet 6 inches, versus 14, 4. Roger, did you get a good look at this left edge putt . Yeah. You can determine who might be away. Rickies going first. I think you got to stay with if you hit it without any speed which is the way you hit this putt, its got to die to the right. I have to believe. You think so, with phoenix that way, the whole hole sort of slopes that way. Not a lot of break. Both of these putts are not tough putts, except when youre nervous. And the tournament is on the line. Rickie continues to enhance his late playoff reputation and land another one at the bottom. This type, he goes first. This is the opposite of regulation. Another one that was pure. Couldnt have done better. No help on that one, it was just well, the fowler fans wake up
