AKRON, Ohio – Rickie Fowler is picking up where he left off at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
Fowler finished second last week at the Quicken Loans National, and he opened with a 3-under 67 at Firestone Country Club that served as the lowest score of the morning wave. While many players cited firm conditions and tricky greens, Fowler saw things differently.
“They’re actually pretty soft compared to yesterday,” Fowler said of the greens. “I was expecting them to be a bit firmer today. There’s still some sections where they were firm, and they’ll continue to dry out as the day goes on.
