Stanley surges to Phoenix Open victory Kyle Stanley bounced back from a bitter defeat to win the Phoenix Open on Sunday, erasing an eight-shot deficit to claim a victory a week after his last-round collapse at Torrey Pines. Stanley was brought to tears at Torrey after a triple-bogey at the final hole dropped him into a playoff that he lost. On Sunday, however, he was in position to strike as Spencer Levin suffered a similar collapse -- surrendering a six-shot overnight lead. Stanley capped a bogey-free 65 with a four-foot par putt and finished with a 15-under total of 269. Ben Crane carded a 66 and finished in second on 270. Levin, who started the round with a six-stroke lead, was seven in front after one hole but finished with a four-over 75 that included a double-bogey seven at the par-five 15th. He settled for third on 271 as Stanley savored a first US PGA Tour victory. The tide was turning when Stanley two-putted for birdie at 13. That pulled him level with Levin, who made back-to-back bogeys at 11 and 12. The last player to lose in a playoff and rebound with a win the following week was David Toms, who fell to South Korea's K.J. Choi in playoff at the Players Championship last year and won the Colonial a week later.
