Matteson wins at Scottsdale

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Recovering from a late collapse, Troy Matteson birdied the second playoff hole to beat Jamie Lovemark and Rickie Fowler in the Frys.com Open at Grayhawk Golf Club.

Matteson bogeyed the final two holes regulation yesterday to fall into a playoff with Lovemark and Fowler, who are both seeking PGA Tour cards for next year.

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.

On the first playoff hole -- the 515-yard, par-4 18th -- Matteson and Fowler each reached the green in two and made easy par putts.

Lovemark got a gift when his approach splashed into a man-made lagoon, then bounced onto the slope of the green. Lovemark chipped to 3 feet and made the putt to stay alive.

Fowler (64) led briefly midway through the round, but his bogey on 18 cost him a chance to win in regulation.

Bill Lunde (66) and Tim Clark (67) tied for fourth at 16 under, and 2007 winner Mike Weir (61) and Bryce Molder (63) followed at 15 under.

Champions

SAN ANTONIO -- Phil Blackmar won his first Champions Tour title, birdieing five of his first six holes en route to a 7-under 64 and a one-stroke victory over Jay Haas, Tom Kite and Andy Bean in the AT&T Championship.

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.

The 6-foot-7 former University of Texas player earned $255,000 in the final full-field tournament of the year.

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.
