Fowler makes 7 when dropped ball rolls back into water

The Rules of Golf once again became a talking point at TPC Scottsdale when Rickie Fowler made one of the oddest triple bogey-7s you're likely to see in the game.

Up five shots through 10 holes at 19 under par on Sunday, Fowler saw his lead cut to just one when he hit a poor shot and caught an even worse break at the par-4 11th.

After missing the green to the right, Fowler played a pitch that wouldn't check on the wet putting surface and skidded into the water. He dropped on the bank and walked away from his ball, which then — after having been at rest — rolled back into the water.
