SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — It’s 9 a.m. at TPC Scottsdale, and the cool nighttime temperatures that descend upon the desert are beginning to give way to the heat radiated from the abundant daytime sunshine.

The groundskeeper kicked off the third round of the WM Phoenix Open by digging the 16th hole in front of hundreds of cheering fans.
