Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele were each two swings back in the 3rd.
Fowler finished the 2nd round with 8 birdies, 4 pars, and 6 bogeys.
“It’s not that effortless at the Los Angeles Country Club,” the golfer shares. “Yes, I swing many birdies, which is viable out there. It’s still everything is very hard. You hit fairways and hit greens; yes, you can go high at the scoreboard, but when you get out of position, everything that you worked for so hard can vanish.”
