Rickie Fowler probably learned a valuable lesson on Friday at the PGA championship.
On the verge of hitting his 6-inch bogey putt, Fowler picked up the putter and … crushed it.

Fowler pulled himself together and touched the next one, but the damage was done. He signed for a double-bogey 6 at number 6 (15th hole of the day) and added another bogey to the eighth hole, turning what had been a decent round into a 1-under 69.
This left him at 2 of 142 – two shots off the projected cut line as the afternoon wave headed towards TPC Harding Park.
In pursuit of his first major title, Fowler was pulling out of a tie for 15th place at last week’s WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational where he played in the penultimate group on Sunday.
