Rickie Fowler had a memorable first round at the WM Phoenix Open despite shooting a 71.
To start off his day, Fowler carded five bogeys en route to a 3-over 38 on TPC Scottsdale's front nine that included both hardships and highlights. He left his 175-yard tee shot on the par-3 fourth 5 feet from the hole but one hole later on the par-4 fifth, he received a penalty en route to a bogey after accidentally moving his ball while trying to clear rocks because his shot got stuck behind a cactus.
Then on the par-4 eighth, Fowler's wayward drive once again ended in a cactus and he was forced to hit his shot lefty.
