A blue Rickie Fowler was overcome with feeling in the wake of watching his trusts blur as he lost to Hideki Matsuyama taking after four play-off gaps at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.Last year's runner-up Matsuyama ruled preeminent on Sunday, however world number four Fowler was left to mourn two shots that found the water in Scottsdale.
Fowler drove by two strokes with two openings to play in regulation before his ball kept running into the water, permitting Matsuyama the chance to in the long run constrain a play-off.
"Generally don't anticipate that it will hit on the downslope and afterward go 360," said the 23-year-old, who completed level at 14 under close by the Japanese star after 72 openings. "So that was somewhat heartbreaking. I hit it right on line, hit it precisely where I was looking.
"That is somewhat the deplorable part, to hit the shots that I did and to force them off, and after that it sort of exploded backward there."
The same thing happened to Fowler at the fourth extra gap, but with a three-wood.
Fowler wound up coming up short the gap as Matsuyama scored standard for his second PGA Tour title.
Also, Fowler, who endured his second play-off thrashing in the wake of missing out to Troy Matteson at the 2009 Frys.com Open, couldn't shroud his feeling thereafter.
"It's going to hurt," said Fowler. "Since I had a feeling that I had it, particularly with the way I was swinging."
Before leaving his news meeting, Fowler included: "The critical step is having, you know, every one of my loved ones and grandpa and my father who haven't seen me win.
"Be that as it may, I will have the capacity to kinda hang with them today evening time. I'll be OK. With how great I'm playing, I know I can win. That is the crucial step."
