Rickie Fowler is perhaps playing next week’s BMW Championship—and all of the PGA Tour’s signature events next season—because of a perfectly awful shot.
On his final hole Saturday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first of three FedExCup playoff events, Fowler’s tee shot on the par-4 18th just missed falling into the water left of the fairway. So with the ball above his feet and the water one step behind him, he hit his second off-balance and shanked it off the grandstand into the fairway. Then, he chipped to about five feet for an improbable par.
