CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2013 Rickie Fowler<\/a> arrived at the Truist Championship after consecutive top-10s at Signature Events. By all signs, his game was trending upward.<\/p>\n A sinus infection temporarily halted the positive momentum, however. Fowler fought a 102-degree fever before the first round this week, and the effects of the illness could be seen in his opening 74.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were times I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to hit the hole from a few feet,\u201d Fowler said Friday, \u201cso it was nice to be back in a better spot physically today.\u201d<\/p>\n Eleven shots better, to be exact. Fowler shot a second-round 63 to vault back into contention at the Truist Championship. He beat just five players Thursday. Now he trails only seven. Fowler is T8 at 5-under 137, just four back of leader Sungjae Im<\/a>. His 63 was the low round of the day by four shots.<\/p>\n *:not(style){overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px;left:0px;display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webkit-justify-content:center;justify-content:center;-webkit-align-items:center;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;width:100%;height:100%;}.css-17ygvlf>img,.css-17ygvlf>video{object-fit:cover;}.css-17ygvlf::before{height:0px;content:””;display:block;padding-bottom:56.25%;}]]> Rickie Fowler’s 198-yard approach sets up birdie on No. 16 at Truist Championship<\/p>\n After hitting just four fairways Thursday, Fowler missed just three Friday. He was second in both Strokes Gained: Approach-the-Green and Strokes Gained: Putting in the second round, a dangerous combination.<\/p>\n Quail Hollow is a meaningful place for Fowler, the site of his first PGA TOUR victory in 2012. He has seven top-25s in 11 Truist starts at Quail, as well as a T5 finish in the 2017 PGA Championship here.<\/p>\n This is the first time Fowler has had consecutive top-10s since the opening two events of the FedExCup Playoffs, a surge that vaulted him to 32nd in the FedExCup and qualified him for all of this season\u2019s Signature Events. He\u2019s 30th in this year\u2019s FedExCup thanks to six top-25s in 10 starts.<\/p>\n \u201cThere’s been a lot of good stuff,\u201d Fowler said. Feeling healthy again, he\u2019s continuing to trend in the right direction.<\/p>\n *:not(style){overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px;left:0px;display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webkit-justify-content:center;justify-content:center;-webkit-align-items:center;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;width:100%;height:100%;}.css-11jnzpa>img,.css-11jnzpa>video{object-fit:cover;}.css-11jnzpa::before{height:0px;content:””;display:block;padding-bottom:66.66666666666666%;}]]> May 8, 2026<\/p>\n Thomas copies Young\u2019s putter, shoes, contends at Truist Championship<\/a>Latest<\/a>![\"Rickie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1778288713_306_image.jpg\")
