After finally capturing the one that always seemed to get away, Rickie Fowler returned to the top 10 in the latest installment of the Official World Golf Ranking.
Fowler had a number of close calls in recent years at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, including a playoff loss in 2016. But Sunday, despite closing with a wobbly 74, he edged Branden Grace by two shots for the title and moved up six spots to No. 8 in the world as a result.
Fowler is now just four spots behind his career high in the rankings, and this marks his highest standing since he was seventh in the world heading into The Open in July.
