UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — You know you’ve achieved a lofty level of play when critics wonder why you finished “only” T-12 at the Masters.
Such is the positive wave being ridden by Rickie Fowler this week into Chambers Bay, one year after placing top 5 in each of the four majors, including a T-2, T-2, T-3 summer of fun at the U.S. Open, Open Championship and PGA Championship, respectively.
But if you suggest he take a bow, Fowler will graciously decline. Young and fearless, the 26-year-old Fowler is all about today and the “next step” to take.
