Mahan now has two PGA Tour wins to his name

Hunter Mahan came from four strokes back to beat Rickie Fowler by a shot and win the Phoenix Open title.
Mahan, 27, had an eagle and a pair of birdies between holes 13 and 16 for a six-under-par 65, 16 under overall and his second PGA Tour victory.
Fowler, only 21 and a tour rookie, had a final-round 68 for the second runner-up finish of his young career.
England's Ian Poulter, winner of last week's Accenture Match Play, finished seven shots back after a 70.
South Korea's YE Yang, the defending US PGA champion, had led until he found water off the tee at the 17th. He carded a final-round 65 to finish third on 14 under.
Third-round leader Brandt Snedeker struggled to a final-round 78 at TPC Scottsdale to finish well back on seven under.
Mahan, who played on the United States' 2008 Ryder Cup team and had six top-10s in 2009, said: "It's just finding a way to win. I just haven't been able to do it.
"So obviously it feels great to win in my fifth tournament of the year. It gives me a lot of confidence in myself that I'm doing the right things in my game, and it feels great, it really does."
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell has kept his place in the world's top 50 and will therefore be part of the field for next week's WGC-CA Championship in Miami.
