Fowler’s errant and unlucky tee shot at the par-4 sixth proved the turning point in his round Friday and his week at The Players Championship. Fowler’s ball landed in the 40-foot tree and never came down, prompting a penalty stroke that sent him back to the tee box and left him clearly flustered. “Kind of bad break in timing this year,” said Fowler, who also landed a ball in a tree at No. Fowler yanked his tee shot at the par-4 seventh into the water left. Fowler needed a birdie or better at his final two holes, but he pushed his tee shot at the par-3 eighth right of the green and made par.
