Phoenix Open Acts as Golf’s Super Bowl Party with Star Shooter Hideki Matsuyama
Some notables will be conspicuous by their absence at this weekend’s Waste Management Phoenix Open, namely Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose. Eldrick, too, as Woods didn’t want to party in Phoenix. Is the rowdy atmosphere—especially the raucous par-3 16th that earned its own white-lettered, blue-background logo six weeks ago—too much for them? The famous ‘Coliseum’ ...

First Place on Line in Key Mountain West Clash
The Mountain West has been a 1-bid league for the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons. If it’s going to change this year, then Saturday night’s showdown in Reno is worth watching on ESPNU. Entering the week, Nevada (17-3/6-0) was unranked, but broke through to No. 25 following their road win at San Jose State.
