Matsuyama outlasts Fowler in playoff to win WMPO

Danny Lee began the day in the driver's seat, and coming down the stretch it appeared Rickie Fowler was poised for a coronation. But in the end it was Hideki Matsuyama who lifted the trophy at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, outlasting Fowler on the fourth hole of a playoff:

Leaderboard: Hideki Matsuyama (-14, won with par on fourth extra hole), Rickie Fowler (-14), Harris English (-12), Danny Lee (-11), Boo Weekley (-10)

What it means: Fowler quickly erased a three-shot deficit, taking sole possession of the lead on the back nine.
