We look back at five of the biggest stories after an eventful week of golf on Sky Sports, including record-breaking crowds at the Phoenix Open and a second career win for Georgia Hall. Fans love PhoenixFor a second consecutive year, the Waste Management Phoenix Open smashed its own record for the highest attendance figures on a single day on the PGA Tour as 201,003 fans came to watch the action on Saturday, beating the previous record of 189,722 set in 2014. Rickie Fowler encourages the crowd to make even more noise as he tees off on the 16th hole during the third round at TPC Scottsdale The PGA Tour tournament attendance record of 564,368 - set at the Phoenix Open in 2015 - was also broken significantly, rising by nearly 54,000 to a staggering 618,365 by the end of the week.One of the events big draws is the amphitheater style par-three 16th hole. From James Hahn doing press-ups to Harold Varner IIIs dab, the loudest hole in golf provided a lot of entertainment this week. Some of golfs top players give their thoughts on the pressure of performing at the 16th hole of the Phoenix Open which hosts around 20,000 spectators Hall making moves in AustraliaGeorgia Hall won her second professional title at the Oates Victorian Open at 13th Beach. The biggest win of her career came after she ended the tournament one stroke ahead of defending champion Marianne Skapnord and Denmarks Nanna Masden. The 19-year-old from Bournemouth began the final day two ahead of the field. A birdie at the 15th helped her regain a one-shot lead, and a par at the last was enough to ensure her first victory since the Open Generali De Strasbourg in 2014. Georgia Hall claimed her second professional victory in Australia where she led the field from round one Changing of the English GuardDanny Willett and Andy Sullivan, who finished first and second in the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, are firmly establishing themselves as two of the strong forces in English golf. With his win in Dubai, Willett moves to 13th in the world rankings, while Andy Sullivan moves in to the top 30 at 28.As it stands, both are set to qualify to play for Europe in the Ryder Cup in Minnesota in September. Sullivan sits in second position on the European Points list behind world No 2 Rory McIlroy, with Willett narrowly behind in third. Danny Willett has claimed victory at the Dubai Desert Classic. British Masters champion Matthew Fitzpatrick lies in fourth, while Ryder Cup stalwarts Ian Poulter, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood are all outside the worlds top 50 and will rely on being handed wildcards from captain Darren Clarke. Westwood missed the cut this week in Dubai, and 28th at the Nedbank challenge is the best result he has had in his past six tournaments. Meanwhile, Willett and Sullivan have totted up three European tour wins each in the past year. The pair also put in notable performances during the EurAsia cup where Willett sealed the final points to gain the victory. Rorys putting proves costly in DubaiThe world No 2 was tied sixth at the end of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, but the defending champion was left to rue missed chances with his putter.Although he finished 15-under-par, his final-round 65 could have been even lower had he made any of the birdie opportunities presented to him on the first three holes on Sunday. McIlroy was unable to finish with a final-hole birdie Ill rue the two front nines that I played on Friday and Saturday, McIlroy said. Im working on my driving and my putting. If everything else stays where it is, I feel like i should get a good run in the States.Rickies yips on 17Twice in less than an hour, Rickie Fowler drove his ball into the water, eventually losing in a play-off. The 332-yard par-four 17th with bunkers bordering the entire fairway and water surrounding the left side and back of the green, left Fowler puzzled as to which club to play. Rickie Fowler drove his ball in to the water on the fourth play-off hole, for the second time in an hour Standing on the 17th tee of the final round, Fowler led the field by two shots and opted to use the driver in order to miss the bunkers. Thinking it was good, Fowler turned away as his ball caught a down-slope and ended up over the back of the green. Im hitting a chip-cut driver, Fowler said. Usually, I dont expect it to hit on the downslope and then go 360.After losing his lead and forcing a play-off with Hideki Matsuyama, the fourth play-off hole saw the pair standing yet again on the 17th.With Fowler teeing-off first, he put the driver away and took out the three wood with the hope of ending up short of the green. He ended up pulling it left into the water and Matsuyama had a tap-in par to win the tournament. Watch the Tshwane Open and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am live on Sky Sports 4 HD this weekend.

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins lost left tackle Trent Williams at a bad time, with a tough upcoming schedule as the playoff race begins in earnest. His four-game suspension robbed the Redskins of a four-time Pro Bowler and team captain.The NFL suspended Williams last week for violation of the NFLs substance abuse policy. Its the second time hes been suspended in his career, the first occurring in 2011. But he had passed enough tests in the interim that his latest suspension wasnt longer.Losing four games might cost him a fifth straight Pro Bowl berth; it wont alter his status as a team leader, the Redskins said Monday.No, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said when asked if it impacted Williams status as a leader. People can take it in a lot of different ways, but Trents done a lot for this team, for this franchise and hes done a lot for the young guys in this building.... So it doesnt have any effect whatsoever on his captain [status] in my mind.Williams also has been voted a team captain for several years. On Monday, teammates stood by him, and his leadership, and said he should remain a captain when he returns. Center Spencer Long said there were multiple reasons why Williams deserved to remain a leader.His play on the field, the way he treats his guys, Long said. Hes a good teammate. Obviously this was not a great thing to have happen, but when you go out there and you trust a guy like that on the field with what he can do... that wont be broken over this. It was a mistake, but obviously the stuff that happens out [on the field] is way more meaningful and will last longer than something like this.ddddddddddddIts a mistake, but it wont change our relationship with him. The bond is too deep for that.Williams was at the facility Monday, talking about Sundays opponent, Minnesota, with other linemen. The Redskins declined to make Williams available to the media.As a young offensive lineman on the team, you look up to him and you see him do things, Redskins right tackle Morgan Moses said. Being able to work with him the last couple years has been big, not just a leader and a captain, were losing a hell of a player as well.Hell still be here to help us and hes still a part of this team. Its our job as teammates and friends to stick with him through this tough little time.Ty Nsekhe will replace Williams and start his third career game. The 31-year-old Nsekhe started his career in Arena League 2 with Corpus Christi. Hes played for four Arena League teams and in the Canadian Football League. Of his 286 career snaps, 278 have come in the last two seasons with Washington.The Redskins say theyre confident in him. But they also lament losing Williams.I mean, it sucked, Redskins corner Josh Norman said. Hes definitely one of the leaders and one of the cornerstones on that line. Hes hard to replace, but we will. Well wait for the big fella to come back and work with us. Well invite him in like hes one of the brothers and keep this thing rolling. ' ' '
