Phoenix success elates Mahan

HUNTER MAHAN produced a flawless round for the second consecutive day to win the Waste Management Phoenix Open by a single stroke from rising talent Rickie Fowler.

Mahan made his move on the back nine with a pair of birdies and an eagle on the par-five 13th and after Fowler missed a birdie putt on the last the 27-year-old’s second career PGA Tour title was assured.

Mahan was the only player in the field not to card a bogey over the final 36 holes as he finished 16-under-par following a six-under 65 on Sunday.
