February 28th| Mat Goggin of Australia showed again why he is one of the most respected Aussie golfers on the U.S PGA Tour with a solid performance to finish T4 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Goggin, who works with Pure Golf Training coach Dale Lynch, started the week off in blistering fashion with a 66 in round 1 followed by a 67 in round 2. A 1 under 70 in round 3 might have slowed him down a bit but he still would still have had a chance to win the event going into the final 9 holes on Sunday. Unfortunately, an  eagle on the par 5 13th was offset by 4 bogies on the back 9 and Goggin eventually finished 3 shots behind eventual winner Hunter Mahan of the U.S.A.

Mat and Dale can only be encouraged by his showing in Phoenix this week as he looks to build on his solid 2009 campaign which also saw him in the final group on Sunday at the British Open with Tom Watson. Goggin finished T5 in that event at Even Par, just 2 shots out of the playoff between eventual champion Stewart Cink and sentimental favorite Watson.
