CHARLOTTE, N.C. Paired with Rory McIlroy on Thursday at the PGA Championship, Rickie Fowler could see the similarities between the two stars rounds.Both made their share of birdies six for Fowler and four for McIlroy and both made big numbers following wayward drives, but Fowler ended up three strokes better than the Northern Irishman largely thanks to timing.The good thing with mine was that it was early enough that I had plenty of time in front of me to kind of make up for it, said Fowler, who made a triple bogey-7 at the fifth hole. With Rory having a rough hole kind of later in the round [No. 14], it's kind of a shot in the gut in a way.

Instead, Fowler was able to rebound from his potentially momentum-killing triple with birdies at Nos. 7, 9, 10 and 14 for a 2-under 69 that left him just two strokes off the lead.Fowler called his wayward tee shot at the fifth a mental mistake, and said the key to his play this week has been his ability to keep the ball out of the Bermuda rough.The big thing for me is continuing to drive it as good as I did today, if not better. That can be tightened up a little bit, Fowler said. If we do that, it will be a good week.

On this heartbreaking night when we lost Jarrod Lyle, I can't help but think of when I first met him. It was June 2011, and I'd flown to Memphis, Tenn., to write a magazine cover story on him. He was 29 at the time, cancer-free, and he'd agreed to visit the world-renowned St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for the first time.

It was not 100 yards right because our fairway is the right rough on that hole," Spieth said. "So essentially you try to hit the right rough." He went on to explain that the rain dictated the shot type he selected since he knew a cut would work better given the fact water on the club face of a driver tends to send the ball more to the right.
