Only two former Oklahoma State golfers will play in the 2017 Masters, but they are both in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings. Rickie Fowler (No. 8) and Alex Noren (No. 10) will tee it up on Thursday as the 81st Masters gets underway.
Fowler is coming off a hot six-week stretch that included a win at the Honda Classic (the fourth of his career on the PGA Tour) and a T3 at the Shell Houston Open last week. He also had top 20 finishes at the WGC-Mexico Championship and Arnold Palmer Invitational.
“It’s been a nice start to the year,” said Fowler from Augusta on Monday.
