SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — For the second straight week, a PGA Tour event ended with Kyle Stanley in tears. This time, they were tears of joy.

Taking advantage of Spencer Levin’s final-round meltdown, Stanley rebounded from a devastating loss at Torrey Pines to win the Phoenix Open on Sunday, overcoming an eight-stroke deficit in a comeback as unlikely as his collapse a week ago.

“You go from a very low point to a high point,” Stanley said. “I’m not sure I expected to maybe recover this quickly. ... I think the biggest challenge was seeing if I could put last week behind me. I think I did.”

Stanley closed with a bogey-free 6-under 65, holing a 4-foot par putt on the par-4 18th to finish at 15-under 269 — a stroke ahead of playing partner Ben Crane and two ahead of Levin.

Levin, six strokes ahead entering the round and seven in front after one hole, shot a 75.

“It just wasn’t my day, obviously,” Levin said. “But I gave it away, simple as that. You have a six-shot lead and lose, you gave it away. My hat’s off to Kyle. He played a great round. He went and got it. But if you’ve got a six-shot lead and don‘t win, then I think it’s on the player with the lead, for sure.”

When asked about Levin, Stanley echoed what Torrey Pines winner Brandt Snedeker said about Stanley a week ago.

“I really feel for him, experiencing that,” Stanley said. “You don’t want to wish that upon anybody. He’s a very good player, way too good of a player to not bounce back or recover.”

At Torrey Pines, Stanley led by seven shots early in the final round, and still had a four-shot lead as he stood on the tee at the par-5 18th.
