Waste Management Phoenix Open History

The first game of the FBR Open was held in 1932, but in 1935 the tournament discontinued. The tradition was revived only four years later, in 1939, thanks to the efforts of the golfer Bob Goldwater. The tournament was played in Phoenix, Arizona, at Phoenix Country Club. From 1995 the event was held at Arizona country club (located in Phoenix as well). Since 1975 Phoenix Country Club became the golf tournaments permanent home once again. Twelve years later the event was moved to another location, TPC of Scottsdale Stadium Course.

2011 Phoenix Open Winner

Packers fan Mark Wilson celebrated a big victory of his own on a playing field about as close to frozen tundra as it gets on the PGA Tour. A self-described cheesehead from Menomonee Falls, Wis., Wilson won the frost-delayed Phoenix Open on Monday for his second victory in three starts this year, holing a 9-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff with Jason Dufner. "I'm just enjoying the ride here and that's just kind of the way I'm going to look at the year here, just ride this train as long as I can," Wilson said. After playing until dark Sunday and fulfilling some parental duties, he was able to watch only a few minutes of the Super Bowl. "I had to wash Lane's face and put his jammies on, and I had to eat, too," Wilson said. "The chaos, with two little kids running around - I like the chaos; it's a good distraction. But at that time, I want to at least get to watch the last 15 minutes of this game. This doesn't happen every year, the Packers in the Super Bowl.

2010 Waste Management Phoenix Open Results

Hunter Mahan has been one of the most successful golfers not to win a tournament the last two years. That's not the case anymore. Mahan came from four strokes back to win the Phoenix Open by a shot over Rickie Fowler on Sunday in a 1-2 finish for former Oklahoma State players. "It's always a little better to lose to a Cowboy," Fowler said. The 27-year-old Mahan had an eagle and a pair of birdies in a late four-hole span to finish at 16-under 268. Mahan, whose first victory came at the 2007 Travelers Championship, closed with consecutive bogey-free 6-under 65s. He's the eighth U.S.-born player still in his 20s to win more than one tournament.

Fowler, just 21 and a tour rookie, had a final-round 68 for the second runner-up finish of his young career, both of them in Arizona.
