Fowler rides torrid start to 54-hole lead at Waste Management Phoenix Open
Rickie Fowler distanced himself from the pack on Saturday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, taking a five-shot lead into the final round. Here’s how Moving Day played out at TPC Scottsdale:
Leaderboard: Fowler (-20). Matt Kuchar (-16), Justin Thomas (-15), Branden Grace (-13), Byeong Hyun An (-13), Gary Woodland (-12), Bubba Watson (-12)
What it means: Fowler is in position to win this event, again. Like, again-again-again. Fowler held the 54-hole lead last year, closed in 73 and tied for 11th. He tied for fourth in 2017 and lost in a four-hole playoff to Hideki Matsuyama in 2016.
