Putter saves Fowler

American golfer Rickie Fowler breathed a sigh of relief after clinching a four-stroke victory at the Honda Classic in Florida yesterday. Fowler frittered away almost all of his four-stroke advantage on a breezy day at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens. But he steadied a leaky ship by sinking consecutive long birdie putts, a 40-footer at the 12th hole followed by a 25-footer at the next, and extended his lead to five strokes with two holes left. Fellow Americans Gary Woodland and Morgan Hoffmann tied for second on eight-under.
