Gary Woodland Wins Phoenix Open

Gary Woodland shot a 64 on Sunday to take home the 2018 Waste Management Phoenix Open in a playoff over Chez Reavie. It was Woodland's first win since 2013 and just his second win at a non-opposite field event ever.
 
After a 30 on the front nine in Round 4, Woodland scuffled a bit on the back nine before a hammer close to top off a wild week at TPC Scottsdale. Woodland birdied Nos. 15-17 and had a run at one on No. 18, too. 
 
Reavie hit the putt of the tournament, a 21-footer on the 72nd hole of the week to go back to the 18th tee with Woodland for a 73rd hole. Reavie made bogey there, though, and a par was enough for Woodland to take home the trophy at a third consecutive playoff at this event (and fourth consecutive playoff this season on the PGA Tour).
 
Woodland topped a leaderboard on Sunday that included Rickie Fowler, Phil Mickelson, Matt Kuchar, Daniel Berger Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. His 64 was the round of the day on Sunday and tied for the round of the week.
 
Fowler bogeyed three of the last four holes and somehow didn't even finish inside the top 10 at an event that he had a firm grip on through 67 holes.
 
Spieth shot 72-70 in the first two days for a 142 total and missed the cut. Kevin Chappel shot 69-72 and finished T30.
