Rickie Fowler is not taking the bait.
Asked again Friday about recent comments by Nick Faldo, Fowler took the high road.
"No, I know where Nick was trying to come from on that," Fowler told reporters at the Honda Classic, where he is T-30 after 36 holes at PGA National, "and it's like competitor to competitor, you're trying to needle each other and get each other going type of thing."
Faldo shared a tweet about Fowler potentially missing the Masters – Fowler needs a win to avoid sitting out the year's first major at Augusta National for the first time since 2010 – and then added a jab at Fowler and his many endorsement deals.
