<b>Frys.com Open: Recovering from a late collapse, Troy Matteson birdied the second playoff hole to beat Jamie Lovemark and Rickie Fowler yesterday at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Matteson bogeyed the final two holes regulation yesterday to fall into a playoff with Lovemark and Fowler, who are both seeking PGA Tour cards.
After all three players parred the first playoff hole, Matteson hit his approach within 3 feet on the 464-yard, par-4 17th hole. With shadows stretching onto the green, Matteson rolled in the putt for his second PGA Tour win.
AT&T Championship: Phil Blackmar won his first Champions Tour title yesterday, birdieing five of his first six holes en route to a 7-under 64 and a one-stroke victory against Jay Haas, Tom Kite and Andy Bean in San Antonio.
Blackmar, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour who joined the Champions Tour late in 2007, had a 10-under 203 total on the Oak Hills course.
He took home $255,000 in the final full-field event of the year.
Haas (69) had a chance to win or force a playoff, but bogeyed the 202-yard, par-3 18th.
He left his tee shot short, dumped a chip into the front bunker, then watched his third shot roll over the lip and stay out of the cup by less than an inch.
Kite (68) missed an 8-foot birdie putt on 18, and Bean (70) failed to chip in from past the green.
