Mayfair's round included a 57 foot, 4 inch birdie putt at No. 17. • Pat Perez, another former ASU standout, and a Scottsdale resident as well, tied for sixth thanks to weekend rounds of 67-68. . • Windy conditions on Sunday caused the final-round scoring average to soar to 72.392 from Saturday's average of 69.987.
