Six-time PGA Tour winner Rickie Fowler made it to the first out of three FedEx Cup playoff events in the post-season lineup. However, he is in danger of not being among the top-50 players who will make it to the second event.
After his third round at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Fowler spoke about being in the playoff bubble. He acknowledged that he needs to put up a good performance in his final round to survive the test, saying,
“We'll be within hopefully decent distance where go put together another solid front nine and see if we can get ourselves in the mix for the back nine and final few holes and give ourselves a chance. But it's going to take a good round of golf. We'll focus on trying to chase our way up the board. I need to play well tomorrow to get myself into next week. We'll focus on one thing and just playing some good golf.”
