Fowler continues outspoken opinions on new drop rule

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Rickie Fowler’s rough-hewn imagery taking a drop Thursday at the Honda Classic didn’t offend his tour brothers.

Not the ones he heard from, and Fowler said he heard from a lot of them after he applied some toilet humor to a drop in the first round.

“A lot of them said it made them laugh,” Fowler said after posting a 2-over-par 72 Friday at PGA National. “They said they loved it. I haven’t heard anything negative from other players.”

Fowler said the new Rules of Golf requiring drops from knee-high height makes players look unathletic.
