This week, the PGA Tour makes it's annually pilgrimage to the TPC Scottsdale for the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Of course, we all know this event has been made more and more famous for the chaos that is the par-three 16th hole.
For many players playing the event for the first time. The 16th hole might seem like stepping into a Roman Coliseum like atmosphere.
It may be the only hole in golf that you a Tour player will get booed on if he hits a bad shot into the green.
Record an ace in front of the amphitheatre surroundings and you are etched into the Phoenix Open's history forever. Joining the likes of Tiger Woods, who aced it back in 1997.
Many would think a three shot lead, in the middle of the fairway on the 18th hole, in the final round of an event is a nice cushion to have on the PGA Tour.
Unfortunately for Kyle Stanley, three shots were not enough.
The second year player actually had a seven shot lead to begin the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open.
However, everything changed for Stanley on that 18th hole.
Brandt Snedeker, one group ahead, made a tap in birdie to close out his round. Three back as he headed to the showers for the day.
He was in the media tent doing his post round interviews when he witnessed; well, what everyone else saw as well.

Robert Rock, the 117th ranked player in the world, held off reigning U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, and former world No. 1 Tiger Woods, for his second victory in the final round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on Sunday.
The Englishman, would go on to card a final round score of two-under, 70. To defeat McIlroy, Woods, Bjorn Thomas and Graeme McDowell by one.
Despite a shaky ending on the 18th, Rock was able to hold off all comers during the final round in Abu Dhabi.
His drive on the final hole found it's way into a pile of pebbles and rocks; that liter some of the Abu Dhabi Golf Course, near the water hazard. This forced him to take a drop.
