Waste Management Phoenix Open The Waste Management Phoenix Open is held at the TPC of Scottsdale. With the weather a little cooler than normal, there may be some frost delays, but from all reports this track is in prestine shape as always and the scores will be very low.
The par 71 layout measures, 7,216 yards and is fairly wide open. The player that is agressive and fires at the pins this week will do well.
[B]Phil Mickelson -140 vs Nick Watney[/B]
Mickelson is slowly getting back into form. He loves this event, a former Scottsdale resisdent, Arizona State golf team, crowd favorite and after last week's blunder "lay up" on the 18th hole, he should come out firing here. Watney is no slouch, but his best finish here is a T12, while Mickelson has won this event twice and played in this tournament every year since 1991.
[B]Bubba Watson -130 vs Geoff Ogilvy[/B]
We normally do not like backing the previous week's winner in matchups unless there is solid reasoning. Ogilvy is making his first start since the stitches in his right finger incident in Hawaii. He just picked up a club this past weekend and is going to give it a try. Bubba led the field in driving distance last week (no kidding) but he also led the field in Greens in Regulation and that is key this week as the greens are perfect and good shots will be rewarded.
