SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (AP) -- Hunter Mahan has won the Phoenix Open, coming from four strokes back to beat Rickie Fowler by a shot in a 1-2 finish for former Oklahoma State players.
The 27-year-old Mahan had an eagle and a pair of birdies in a late four-hole span Sunday to finish at 16-under 268 for his second PGA Tour victory. The first came at the Travelers Championship in 2007. Mahan closed with consecutive 6-under 65s to finish at 16 under.
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.
South Korea's Y.E. Yang also shot a 65 to finish at 14 under, two off the pace. Last year's PGA Championship winner, Yang led
until his tee shot went in the water at No. 17.
