Entering the day one stroke behind, Rickie Fowler managed to complete the comeback and claim a victory at the 2015 Deutsche Bank Championship.

Trailing by three shots early on the back nine, Fowler rolled in a 40-foot putt on the 14th hole to pull within one of the leaderboard. He took care of business from there. Another big win moved him to third in the FedEx Cup standings.

Henrik Stenson finished second yet again. A par-3 16th altered his future.
"I obviously pulled the wrong club on 16 and was trying to get the most out of a 7-iron into the wind and ballooned that one a little bit and that was the crucial mistake. Making double there was really a killer," Stenson said, per PGATour.com. "I tried to get those two shots back, or at least one to force a playoff on the last two holes, and couldn't manage to do it."
Fowler now sits behind Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy in the FedEx Cup standings, with Stenson at No. 4 and Bubba Watson at No. 5.
