Windy PGA National bucks Cowboy alums Rickie Fowler, Viktor Hovland

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – A couple former Cowboys found themselves struggling unexpectedly along the same rough trail Thursday at the Honda Classic.

Rickie Fowler won the Honda Classic three years ago.

Viktor Hovland won in Puerto Rico just a week ago.

Their paring as former Oklahoma State stars didn’t go as planned with a cold wind whipping across PGA National’s Champion Course in the morning round. Fowler struggled to a 6-over 76 and Hovland to a 77.

“It’s golf,” Fowler said. “You look at our group, guys playing well, Hovy coming off a win, we just got it going the wrong way.
