Another day, another beer shower for 16th hole at Phoenix Open

The Sunday crowd at the Phoenix Open is historically smaller and more subdued compared to the peak rowdiness of Saturday. But the 16th hole crowd for the final round must be a bit envious of of the uninhibited beer shower the Saturday group got to celebrate after Franceso Molinari’s hole-in-one because now they’re just tossing beers for above-average birdies.

Cory Renfrew’s chip-in early in the day prompted the grandstands to chuck every beverage in sight, and they did it again after K.J. Choi drained a 36-foot putt.

After Renfrew’s chip-in, Golf Channel had a most depressing shot of some of the elderly volunteers morosely raking away the beer cans. I can’t imagine they started the week thinking the threshold for beer showers would become just birdies and not holes-in-one.
