Chris Gotterup (-16) emerged as the champion of the WM Phoenix Open, closing with a superb final-round 64 to secure victory. His aggressive finish capped off a strong week that began with a blistering 63 in Round 1 and ended with him holding off a crowded leaderboard. Hideki Matsuyama (-16) matched Gotterup’s total with steady rounds of 68, 64, 68, and 68, but Gotterup’s lower final-day score gave him the edge and the win.

Just one shot behind, a group of five players finished tied at -15: Scottie Scheffler, Akshay Bhatia, Si Woo Kim, Michael Thorbjornsen, and Nicolai Hojgaard. Scheffler rebounded from a slow start with a closing 64, while Bhatia and Thorbjornsen impressed with consistent play across the weekend. Kim’s second-round 62 kept him in contention, and Hojgaard’s late push highlighted the depth of talent near the top. Jake Knapp (-14) and Matt Fitzpatrick (-13) rounded out the top ten, both delivering solid but less explosive finishes.

Gotterup’s victory at TPC Scottsdale was defined by his fearless final-round charge, which separated him from Matsuyama and the tightly packed chasing group. With so many players clustered within a shot of the lead, the tournament delivered the drama and excitement fans expect from the WM Phoenix Open. Gotterup’s win not only showcased his composure under pressure but also marked a breakthrough moment in his career, adding his name to the list of champions at one of the PGA Tour’s most electrifying stops.
