This week the PGA TOUR stops in Scottsdale, Ariz. for the FBR Open. The course the pros will be playing is the TPC Scottsdale (7,216 yards, par 71) and the winner pockets$1.08 million.
The FedEx Cup pointsare as follows: 25,000. Winner's share: 4,500.
Last year: Australia's Aaron Baddeley won the second of his two PGA Tour titles. Baddeley birdied three of the final four holes for his second straight 7-under 64 and a one-stroke victory over John Rollins.
Notes: Phil Mickelson won the 2005 event, shooting a 60 in the second round en route to a five-stroke victory. The former Arizona State star also won in 1996. ... Mark Calcavecchia won in 2001, shooting 65-60-64-67 for a 28-under 256 total - a tour stroke record that was broken by Tommy Armour III in the 2003 Texas Open. Calcavecchia also won in 1989 and 1992. ... Vijay Singh won in 1995 and 2003. ... The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is next week, followed by the Northern Trust Open at Riviera.
