Last week, Rickie Fowler shot the first 62 in U.S. Open history. This week, he flirted with his first 59 on the PGA Tour.
Fowler started on the back nine at TPC River Highlands with pars on 10 and 11. Then the fireworks started.

The former Oklahoma State star found a fairway bunker at the par-4 12th, but was able to hit it to 7 feet from 94 yards and rolled in the birdie to kickstart his round.
Great ball-striking at the reachable par-5 13th and driveable par-4 15th was rewarded with tap-in birdies, and after adding two more birdies at 17 and 18, Fowler couldn’t help but start thinking about that magic number.
