Just like Thursday, Mackenzie Hughes arrived at the Waste Management Phoenix Open par-3 16th hole and paid homage to Arizona native and Toronto Maple Leafs rookie forward Auston Matthews.
Hughes was quite the showman at the famous hole. After he stuck his tee shot close to the flag, he asked the crowd to get loud. Then, after rolling in the putt, Hughes signed the sweater and tossed it into the stands.
Matthews took notice of the respect shown by Hughes:
@MacHughesGolf nice birdie on 16, oh and nice jersey ! #goleafs pic.twitter.com/mrw7Pe7oI4
