Fowler goes and wins Phoenix Open, after Tiger tells him to
0:000:37SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Before Rickie Fowler shook off a shocking triple bogey on his 11th hole and won his first Waste Management Phoenix Open title Sunday, he received a special text the night before.
The sender? Tiger Woods.
"He texted me last night, 'Good playing and go get the job done,'" Fowler said after posting a two-shot victory despite a closing 3-over 74 at TPC Scottsdale. "I wish we could have gotten the job done a little cleaner and a little better. I feel like if I could erase those two holes (No. 11 and No. 5, where Fowler made double) this victory would, it's still a good victory, but it would look a lot different.
