Fowler right back in the hunt after playoff loss

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – How would Rickie Fowler respond to that emotional playoff loss in his last start at Phoenix?

Fowler had a quick answer in Thursday’s first round of the Honda Classic.

With a 4-under-par 66, Fowler moved right back on a leaderboard, one shot off the lead.

“I have a lot of confidence in my game and where my swing is at,” Fowler said. “Get some putts to go in, and it could be fun weekend.”

Fowler, 27, immediately went into attack mode at PGA National’s Champion Course in a bid to give himself a chance to win his fifth title in his last 21 starts.
