Rickie Fowler has been waiting for what must seem like an eternity for this.
It’s all there for him. Everything he thought he would seize a bunch of years ago and didn’t again sits at his feet.
Scottie Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 ranked player, who has been lurking throughout the tournament, is 7-under and three shots back. If Fowler is able to close the deal, he will have gone wire-to-wire for the victory, which is a stressful ride.Consider that, since 2011, Fowler has 12 top-10 finishes in major championships, a number that includes eight top-five and three runner-up finishes — the most close calls of anyone in that span.He hit a safe drive up the right side of the fairway while Clark took a curious approach, trying to hit a high-cut driver over the trees on the left side of the hole.
Clark, though, showed some guile and topped off Fowler’s birdie with his own 13-foot birdie putt to climb back to 10-under. Both players parred 15 and 16 before Clark blinked on the 17th when he hit a foul-ball approach shot into a penalty area with high tangled grass to the right of the green.
