Golf: Former Oklahoma State golfer Rickie Fowler wins The Players Championship

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Nothing was overrated about Rickie Fowler at The Players Championship.

Not the way he rallied from a five-shot deficit with the greatest finish in the 34-year history of the TPC Sawgrass. Not the two tee shots he smashed down the daunting 18th fairway Sunday when a miss to the left or right spelled trouble. And certainly not the three tee shots — yes, three — he stuffed on the island-green 17th hole for birdie each time.
