Rickie Fowler 5 under and bogey-free at Fortinet after personnel, bag changes

The Fortinet Championship marks the start of a new PGA Tour season and, for Rickie Fowler, a handful of other new changes that he’s hoping will translate into wins.

Fowler opened the week in Napa with a bogey-free 5-under 67, including five birdies – a solid start despite having a new caddie, (kind of) new swing coach, new putter and new irons.

“I always like it when there's bogey-free in there,” Fowler said after his first round at Silverado Resort. “For the most part, that wasn't necessarily an issue, other than one hole I had to make about a 15-footer for par after I hit it in the bunker.
