Rickie Fowler got off to a terrible start with two unthinkable blunders in Round 2 of the WGC-Mexico Championship.

First, Fowler shanked a routine iron shot out of bounds from the primary cut of rough.

He then proceeded to take a drop for his out-of-bounds ball, though he did so by using the old shoulder-height method instead of from his knee. This infraction induced a one-stroke penalty.

He'd walk off the green after tapping in for a triple-bogey seven. Ouch.
