Golf-Fowler, Matsuyama in Phoenix Open playoff

Feb 7 (Reuters) - American Rickie Fowler and Japanese Hideki Matsuyama headed to a sudden-death playoff after finishing the regulation 72 holes locked together at the Phoenix Open on Sunday. Matsuyama finished birdie-birdie, knocking in a 17-foot putt at the last at the TPC Scottsdale, before Fowler forced the playoff by calmly sinking a 10-footer. They finished at 14-under 270, two strokes clear of American Harris English. (Reporting by Andrew Both in Cary, North Carolina; Editing by Frank Pingue)
