The Waste Management Phoenix Open is the biggest party on the PGA Tour, and fans attending the third round couldn’t wait to get the party started … quite literally.
Nearly 200,000 people showed up to TPC Scottsdale on Saturday, and some of them showed up well before the gates opened – starting at 4 a.m. local time – hoping to grab a coveted seat inside the stadium surrounding the 16th hole.
It’s 4 a.m. in Phoenix.
