Raw sewage backed up, sat in puddles at Phoenix Open

There was a waste management problem at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Raw sewage backed up and sat in puddles outside of the Fry's Fan Zone on Saturday, settling just a few steps away from the TPC Scottsdale clubhouse in easily one of the more trafficked areas of the course.

Most fans recoiled from the smell as they approached the area.

Many of them walked through the dirty water, unaware of what was on the ground.

The waste originated from a Crowd Pleaser, an unfortunately named portable toilet that hooks into sewage lines. A tournament spokesman said the toilet was shut down while the problem was repaired, adding that the area was cleaned up a few hours later.
