Chris Gotterup earned a victory at the Waste Management Phoenix Open after defeating Hideki Matsuyama in a playoff.
Gotterup won with a long birdie putt on the first hole of the playoff at TPC Scottsdale.
It was his fourth career PGA Tour title and second of the year.
Matsuyama held a one-shot lead entering the final hole, but his struggles late led to a playoff situation. The Japanese star pulled his drive into the water on the 18th hole.
Matsuyama was also seen visibly frustrated with the fans watching the Open, which is known for its rowdy crowds. Matsuyama had to back off mid-swing with a distraction coming from the direction of the crowd.
