Majors behind him, Rickie Fowler tries to salvage season (The Associated Press)

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. (AP) -- Rickie Fowler is short on majors, not on class.

He returned to the 18th green at Baltusrol after an exhausting day because he wanted to congratulate the winner. He is friendly with Jimmy Walker and Jason Day, though there is a special connection with Walker. Both work with Butch Harmon. They were partners in all four matches in the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, and two matches in the Presidents Cup at South Korea. They were housemates at Royal Troon.

''He's definitely one of my closest buddies on tour,'' Fowler said.
