Relive how Rickie Fowler birdied TPC Sawgrass' 17th hole five times on his way to victory in 2015

With the Players Championship just five days away, we continue our countdown of iconic TPC Sawgrass highlights by looking back at Rickie Fowler’s masterclass on the 17th from his 2015 win.

Fowler famously birdied the 137-yard par-three five times over the course of the week, including three times during a dramatic final round, to snatch victory from an unlikely position.

The American post a birdie-two at the hole during the first two rounds but missed out on the Saturday, with Fowler four off the pace heading in to the final round.

Fowler trailed by five strokes with just six holes to go, but posted four birdies - including at the 17th - and an eagle along the closing stretch to force his way in to a three-way play-off.

He then repeated the feat for a fourth time to match Kevin Kisner's gain at the second extra play-off hole, before birdieing the 17th again in sudden death to take the title.
