That hole is the one that seems to be keeping him from being in the thick of contention at the Cadillac Championship.

Fowler shot two balls in the water on the 433-yard hole Saturday, which gave him a quadruple-bogey 8. He made four birdies and 11 pars the rest of the way, finishing at 1-under 71 for the day and getting to 4 under for the tournament — eight shots behind leader Rory McIlroy.
