Defending champion Matsuyama one stroke from Phoenix lead - Golf


(Reuters) - Reigning champion Hideki Matsuyama recorded his first bogey of the week on his final hole on Friday but remains the man to beat at the Phoenix Open in Arizona as he heads into the weekend just one stroke off the lead. American Brendan Steele (67) and South Korean An Byeong-hun, who drained a 35-foot birdie putt at the par-four 18th to card a 66, shared the lead on 10-under 132. "It was a good putt, perfect speed," An told Golf Channel about his sixth birdie of the day, and his third in the last four holes. "I played good, steady golf today," said overnight leader Kuchar, who had opened with a 64. "I smashed it and it still didn't carry, so that was a kind of a bugaboo on our part."
