Matteson Wins Frys Open in Playoff
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Tied for 106th after the first round in the Frys.com Open, Troy Matteson thought it might be a short tournament.
It turned out to be a long and rewarding one.
Recovering from a late collapse, Matteson birdied the second playoff hole to beat Jamie Lovemark and Rickie Fowler on Sunday at Grayhawk Golf Club for his second PGA Tour victory.
“On Thursday, if you would have told me that I could get into a playoff to try to win this tournament, I would have said you’re absolutely out of your mind,” Matteson said.
After all three players parred the first playoff hole, Matteson hit his approach within 3 feet on the 464-yard, par-4 17th hole. With shadows stretching onto the green, he rolled in the putt to win.
