SCOTTSDALE, Arizona – Rickie Fowler shot a third-day 64 at TPC Scottsdale and will take a four-shot lead into Sunday’s finale of the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open.
The 30-year old Fowler finished the day at the Stadium Course with nine pars, one bogey and eight birdies, including four gains over the first six holes to maintain the marquee position at 20-under par.
