Rickie Fowler had a few bad shots on Thursday that resulted in two double-bogeys, but he pulled off what playing partner Jason Day called an all-world shot.

Fowler’s drive on the 440-yard 17th hole landed in the second cut, left of the fairway. But he had an opening about 5-6 feet wide between two trees for his approach shot.

“I tried not to look at it too much,” he said. “It was big enough.”

He hit a 6-iron that split the opening and landed in what he called a perfect place on the green to the back-right pin placement. He drained the birdie putt to get to 4 under.
