Fowler (69) finishes second at Quicken Loans

GAINESVILLE, Va. – On Saturday, Rickie Fowler vowed to correct the bad swings that prevented him from taking control of the Quicken Loans National, but on Sunday it was more of the same as Fowler came up three strokes shy of winner Troy Merritt.

The world No. 8 made seven birdies, but was held back by five bogeys in a final-round 69. It was a nearly identical day as Round 3 where he made a run at the lead only to follow it up with a bogey.

"I was able to kind of rally and make some birdies coming in, but really disappointed with how I went out," Fowler said.
