The FBR Open at the TPC in Scottsdale, Arizona tees off tomorrow. This event has the reputation as the biggest party scene on the PGA Tour. In particular, the 16th Hole, which was specially built to accomodate thousands of onlookers, has become known as the rowdiest, loudest hole in golf. The fans go particularly nuts for Arizona State alums, including Phil "FIGJAM" Mickelson. It was also on the 16th Hole in 2002 where a fan yelled, "Noonan!" to The Wop Genius, Chris DiMarco, as he prepared to putt. DiMarco waited until the fan was ejected before putting. He won the tournament.
For a good breakdown of the scene on the 16th, including some sweet pictures of the party scene at the FBR Open in general, go here and here. Selected pics below...[2008 FGA Draft in Scottsdale?? Pre-Match Play??]
