Rickie Fowler was having an amazing third day at the Quail Hollow Club. Fowler was even for the day through 9 holes and was even 3 under for the Wells Fargo Championship. He was close to another PGA win since the 2019 WM Phoenix Open. 

Although performing stunningly was not the highlight of his day. The highlight was something else altogether. You may be wondering what it could be that outshined golfer’s performance. Well, it was not a usual sight that people get to see on the greens.
