PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – This week’s U.S. Open will be Rickie Fowler’s 37th start in a major championship – and his 37th major start without a victory. Not that he needs any help remembering.
Toward the end of his press conference on Monday at Pebble Beach, Fowler was asked a familiar question about being considered the best player without a major championship.
“It's a compliment in a way,” Fowler said. “It's not necessarily something I think about or worry about. I know that when the time is right, it's going to happen.”
It’s not as though Fowler hasn’t had his chances.
