MEXICO CITY — Rickie Fowler was penalized one shot Friday in the Mexico Championship for dropping from the wrong height, a new rule he expects to be changed. Fowler said someone mentioned to Reed that the drop was shoulder-height, and that’s when Fowler realized what he had done. “We have been making fun of the knee drop for so long that it was ingrained that my first drop was going to be from the knee, like this iconic moment,” he said. Fowler sees no reason why a shoulder-length drop that stays in the relief area shouldn’t count. After it was in play, and as Fowler was studying his shot by the green, the ball rolled into the water hazard.
