Scottsdale, AZ (Sports Network) - A week ago, Kyle Stanley blew an eight- stroke lead in the final round to cost himself his first PGA Tour victory.

This week, Stanley was making the big rally.

He fired a six-under 65 Sunday to come from eight shots back to win the Phoenix Open by one stroke over Ben Crane.

Stanley finished his first tour win at 15-under-par 269.

Crane, who played alongside Stanley, closed with a five-under 66 at the TPC Scottsdale to take second at minus-14.

Spencer Levin started the round with a six-stroke lead, and it was seven after the first hole. He had a solid par save on the 10th, but dropped four strokes in the next five holes to fall out of the lead.

Levin stumbled to a four-over 75 to end alone in third at 13-under-par 271.
