On Saturday at the BMW Championship at Conway Farms, 264 yards, a lake and a slew of bunkers separated Rickie Fowler from the green at the par-5 eighth.
No matter. Fowler decided to hit his driver off the deck and managed to carry his ball onto the green. Unfortunately, he would go on to settle for par after three-putting from around 50 feet.
264 yards to the hole. Only one option.

It was the second impressive long ball from Fowler, who opened his third round with an eagle-2 at the first hole after nearly finding the putting surface with his drive.
