MEXICO CITY – Rickie Fowler wasn’t the first player to find himself on the wrong side of the new rule that requires players to take drops from knee-height, but his infraction was certainly the most high-profile.
Fowler began his second round at the WGC-Mexico Championship on the 10th hole and things started to go wrong quickly when he hit his approach shot well right and out of bounds.
“It's hard to hit a high shank, but I did. You can't teach that one,” Fowler laughed.
Things only got worse when Fowler dropped from shoulder-height.
