PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. Sometimes even a four-shot victory isnt enough to silence the critics.Rickie Fowler survived a tumultuous final round at the Honda Classic, where he won with room to spare despite a number of front-nine errors and a pair of closing bogeys. The victory is his first on the PGA Tour in more than a year, but it still left Golf Channel and NBC analyst Johnny Miller questioning Fowlers ability to close.Obviously a win is a win, but youve got to learn to finish out Sundays like a true champion, Miller said during the telecast. He hasnt learned how to do that yet.Fowler started the day with a four-shot lead, but he was only one shot clear after a watery double bogey on No. 6 and a bogey on No. 9. He added birdies at Nos. 12, 13 and 16 to build a five-shot advantage before finding the water on No. 17 and playing conservatively at the last.The on-air criticism didnt sit well with a couple of Fowlers peers, who took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the matter:

Rickie playing the last with a 5 shot lead and Johnnie Miller saying he's not sure what this will do for him as he didn't play that great Luke Donald (@LukeDonald) February 26, 2017As for Fowler, he took Millers comments in stride while addressing the media with the winners trophy at his feet.Well, I started with a four-shot lead and I still won by four, Fowler said. I didnt play great. It wasnt a pretty round. But we got the job done. A wins a win.
