Red-Hot Chris Gotterup Wins WM Phoenix Open After Hideki Matsuyama’s Late Collapse

There have been many 72nd-hole collapses in golf history: Arnold Palmer’s at the 1961 Masters, Jean Van de Velde’s at the 1999 British Open, Phil Mickelson’s at the 2006 U.S. Open and Mito Pereira’s at the 2022 PGA Championship, to name a few. 

Add Hideki Matsuyama at the 2026 WM Phoenix Open to the list. And that can include his 73rd hole, too.
