The 16th at the Waste Management Phoenix Open is known for its raucous atmosphere and is called "the biggest party in golf" for a reason.
Players have fun with the fans sitting in the only stadium setting in golf, throwing gifts and pumping up the crowd while walking to the green.
Canadian Mackenzie Hughes added to the scene on Thursday by saluting a local hockey star Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs, while throwing theScore-branded gear into the stands.
