Rickie Fowler had a tough first two days at the Olympics. He shot 75 in Round 1 and 71 in Round 2. He joked on Friday that maybe he would lower his score by four each day. Then he did seven better on Saturday by shooting a 64 to get to 3 under for the week.

Fowler went out in 29 on the front nine on Saturday after holing out for eagle at No. 9. He came home in 35 to get to T14 on the week, just six shots out of third place. Third place matters this week because, well, it’s the Olympics and you get a medal for third place (unlike a regular PGA Tour event).
