Phoenix Open closes gates and curbs alcohol with course too crowded

• Ticket holders turned away from greats in tournament first
• Alcohol sales briefly limited amid larger than usual' crowds

Even the famously no-holds-barred Phoenix Open has a limit on how much debauchery is allowed on a golf course.

The tournament, which is at TPC Scottsdale, stopped allowing fans onto the premises around 2pm on Saturday afternoon because it was too crowded. They also briefly stopped alcohol sales at several locations around the course, hoping to slow down the party.
