Watch: Fan distracts Rickie Fowler mid-swing at 2024 Players – and he did not let it slide

This week hasn’t been too kind to 2015 Players Championship winner Rickie Fowler.

After making the cut on the number (1 under) Saturday morning when the second round finally finished, Fowler posted a third-round 4-over 76 and now sits at 3 over for the tournament, dead last of players to make the weekend.

On Saturday at TPC Sawgrass, Fowler made the turn with an even-par 36 but struggled on the back and eventually shot 4-over 40. His back-nine scorecard included a double-bogey seven on the par-5 16th, the easiest hole on the golf course.

And he didn’t get off to the strongest of starts as a fan interrupted Fowler during his tee shot.

And he did not let it slide.

He pointed directly at the fan and asked him what he was doing.

This is an all-time clip from Fowler.
