Seeking to build momentum, Rickie Fowler looks forward to U.S. Open qualifier, though he knows 'it will be a long day'

DUBLIN, Ohio -- Rickie Fowler is starting to see signs that his game is coming around after a long slump. He hopes it carries over into a U.S. Open qualifier on Monday.

Fowler, 32, failed to finish high enough at the Memorial Tournament to earn a place in the June 17-20 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines via the Official World Golf Ranking.

So he will be one of among 120 players at a 36-hole final qualifying event at two nearby courses.

"It will be a long day," Fowler said. "Hopefully we can dodge some rain and storms in the afternoon.
