WATCH: Rickie Fowler Has Fun Mocking Golf’s Knee-High Drop Rule

Rickie Fowler ran afoul of one of Golf’s very stringent and specific rules last week at the WGC-Mexico Championship when he dropped a ball from shoulder height, as opposed to knee height.

Fowler let his feelings about the new rule be known, when speaking to reporters after the tournament:

I think, with the new rules that have been put in place, it’s not doing any favors for our sport. I think it will definitely be changed. We have been making fun of the knee drop for so long that it was ingrained the first time I took a drop this year. Like, ‘This is an iconic moment. I get to drop from my knee and look stupid.’ So, no, like I said, it was on me, but I think it’s a terrible change.

Having expressed himself in verbal form, on Thursday at the Honda Classic, Fowler took it to the next level and physically demonstrated his feelings on the rule.

Watch:

Had Joe Buck been calling the tournament, he would have no doubt referred to Fowler’s antics as a “disgusting act.” However, regardless of anyone’s thoughts on the rule, Fowler’s version of the “drop” will no doubt result in some laughs.
