Rickie Fowler says he knows he can win this week's Phoenix Open in Arizona after posting a three-under 68 during the second round at TPC Scottsdale.
Having struggled in the tournament over the last couple of years, the world No 4 believes he is playing well enough to finish the weekend with his second win of the year.
"I've been playing well", Fowler said. "I know I can win coming off the win at Abu Dhabi so I'm excited for the weekend and looking forward to the challenge"
"I'm looking for a little bit of redemption. I haven't played as well as I would have liked to here the past few years".
After missing the cut last week at Torrey Pines, the first round leader followed his 65 with a three-under 68 to stay within one of midway leader James Hahn.
Birdies at the third, 13th and 15th helped him to nine under par for the tournament, but he missed a chance on 16 to gain another shot after leaving his putt short of the hole.
"It actually began to quieten down as I was about to hit but I was hoping they would stay loud," Fowler added. "I made a really good swing here, the wind just laid down a little bit and it flew a little bit more than I want to but I actually had a good look at it and didn't actually think I could leave that putt short.
"I made a really good swing here. I was thinking of the swing I made on 16 as I made a really good one there. It was a perfect line, we hit our number. It was nice to make the putt."
Fowler will go into the weekend sharing second position with Danny Lee, who shot an impressive second round score of 65 at the TPC Scottsdale course.
