Fowler grabs 4-shot lead at Honda Classic

Jason Getz-USA TODAY Sports

Rickie Fowler walked the walk Saturday at the Honda Classic, after saying it was time for him to start winning golf tournaments Friday evening.

Fowler posted a 5-under 65 to lead Tyrrell Hatton by four shots entering Sunday's final round, and seeks his first PGA Tour win since September 2015.

The 28-year-old made five birdies and no bogeys in his round, mostly due to a hot putter and another solid day with the driver.

"Yeah I know I have a lead and it's going to be nice to go out in front," Fowler told Steve Sands of the Golf Channel. "But a lot of golf to be played, especially around this place."
