SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Emiliano Grillo set off the latest beer shower at the Phoenix Open with an ace on the stadium 16th hole. Grillo's shot on the 155-yard hole flew directly into the cup and swirled around a few times before dropping in Friday's second round, setting off pandemonium at the party barge of a par 3. The Argentinian raised his arms and chest-bumped fellow player Rafael Campos after the ball flew in, then shared high-fives with nearly everyone on the tee. Fans in the jam-packed, three-story grandstands sent beer and other drinks flying onto the tee and the green, creating a massive mess.
