by (Rio) – After winning the third round of play on Saturday to get back on the fringe of medal contention, Rickie Fowler (Navajo) came back down to earth in Sunday’s final round for Team USA.
After entering the day at 17th on the heels of his seven-under-par 64 on Saturday, Fowler carded a three-over-par 74 Sunday in Rio de Janeiro to fall back into a tie for 37th place with an overall score of 284.
Fowler shot even par over the first nine holes, bogeying the third and getting a birdie on the fourth. On the back nine he had three bogeys and a double bogey to offset birdies on the 10th and 16th holes.
Briton Justin Rose carded a 256 overall to claim the gold medal. Stenson Henrik of Sweden and American Matt Kuchar took silver and bronze, respectively.
