• At the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Bubba Watson came in second to Kevin Stadler at 15-under. Tied coming into the par-4 18th, Stadler hit his 110-yard approach to the back right pin to 10 feet and Watson drove into the right rough and hammered his 120-yard second over the green. Watson's shot from the trampled rough ran five feet past the hole. After Stadler missed his birdie try and tapped in for par, Watson's par try slid by the left side.
"He beat me," Watson said. "He's a great player. I thought I hit a good putt, but obviously I misread that, too,"
Afterward, Watson Tweeted: "I played solid all week, got to keep practicing! 2nd is first loser!! #GolfIsHard"
Harris English was ninth at 12-under, while Erik Compton was 48th at 2-under and Kirk was 76th at 5-over. Harman and Henley missed the cut.
