Waste Management Phoenix Open 2019: Rickie Fowler Edges Branden Grace for Win

Two late birdies allowed Rickie Fowler to hang on for a two-shot victory over Branden Grace at the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Fowler started the day with a four-shot advantage over Matt Kuchar. His worst single-round score coming into Sunday was a 65. With such a comfortable margin of error, the California native had a lot of room to work with.

Instead, Fowler gave two shots back with a double bogey on No. 5. He appeared to settle in with four straight pars and a birdie before things fell apart on No. 11. His triple bogey gave Grace an opening to briefly take the lead before settling for second place.
