Fowler follows 84 with 65, praises Shinnecock setup
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. As promised, the USGA dialed back Shinnecock Hills for Sundays final round, watering the greens overnight and deferring to more user-friendly hole locations.The evidence of this was on the leaderboard, with four early finishers having shot under-par rounds, including Rickie Fowler, who closed with a round-of-the-week 65. There were just three under-par cards on Saturday.That's the golf course I enjoy playing. Obviously, pin placements were a lot safer, said Fowler, who had just one bogey on Sunday and opened his day with a 4-under 31 on his opening nine. The pins today will definitely allow for the greens to firm up and get fast, and we'll see how much they dry out. It was definitely more receptive this morning than yesterday, that's for sure.
