Rickie Fowler claps back at a fan during Round 3 of the Cognizant Classic: "Of course you know"

The 2025 Cognizant Classic is Rickie Fowler's 5th appearance on the PGA Tour in 2025. Compared to his previous appearances this year, Fowler seems to be playing his best golf at the PGA National. However, in Round 3 on Saturday, the American golfer was spotted losing his cool.

On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), popular golf page NUCLR Golf uploaded a video in which Fowler missed a putt. As per the page, a fan got after the golfer for missing this put, and Fowler too did not hesitate from replying to the fan.

Rickie Fowler said:

“Of course you know… that’s why you are in the stands.”

A win at the Cognizant Classic for Rickie Fowler will help him end his nearly two-year victory drought, given that his last professional win came in 2023. The last time Fowler tasted championship success was at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic. In that tournament, the 36-year-old beat Adam Hadwin and Collin Morikawa in the playoff.

Last year was tough for Fowler as he wasn't able to win a single event on the PGA Tour. The best position he could achieve in 2024 came at the PGA Tour's ZoZo Championship, where he finished in fourth place.
