It was The Shot Heard Round the World. In 1997, Tiger Woods--just 21 years old at the time--let loose on a hole-in-one eagle on the par-3 16th. It, along with moments such as three-time champion Mark Calcavecchia's PGA TOUR record 72-hole score of 256 in 2001, has helped define the event since its move to the TPC Scottsdale in 1987. Before that--and dating back to '32-- the event was held at either the Phoenix or Arizona Country Club.
 2008: J.B. Holmes defeated Phil Mickelson with a birdie-3 on the first playoff hole to capture the 2008 FBR Open. It was Holmes' first career playoff appearance, while Mickelson falls to 7-3 in extra sessions. J.B. Holmes (2006, 2008) becomes the first player to notch his first two career victories at the same tournament since Vaughn Taylor won the 2004 and 2005 Reno-Tahoe Open. Since 1960, seven players have performed the feat.
