Rickie Fowler hits an unbelievable shot at WM Phoenix Open

Fowler had a bit of a rough front nine at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. His opening round had a bit of everything, which started with a one-stroke penalty on the par 4 fifth hole. Rickie hit a wild drive, and it finished near the cactus. In the process of removing the rock, his ball moved and he was given a one-stroke penalty. He would then make bogey on the fifth hole.

Moving forward to the eight-hole of his front nine. Again, Rickie drove his ball into the cactus area and had no stance whatsoever to hit his ball right-handed. So, he decides to hit his shot left-handed. Rick took his club, left-handed, and hit an absolute beauty to recover from his wayward drive. Probably hitting one of the best shots of the 2022 season so far. The contact was too sweet and as a result, the ball trickled off the fairway.

He made another bogey on his front nine at the eight-hole. But this bogey felt more like a birdie for Rickie, as it was a brilliant recovery from the waste area.

Fowler’s opening round at 2022 Waste Management Phoenix Open

Rickie shot an opening round of even-par 71 at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open. The front nine for Folwer was rather a bad one, with four bogeys and only a single birdie. As a result, making the turn at three-over-par, 38. On the back nine, Rickie made two birdies, a single bogey, and an eagle, as a result, carding a three-under 33 on the back nine. He is currently seven shots off the lead.
