As far as feature writers go, there’s nobody better in golf than Golf Digest’s Jaime Diaz. That’s why I was excited recently when he tackled Rickie Fowler in Fowler’s 827th appearance on the cover of GD (approximate).
You can read the whole profile here. It talks a lot about Fowler’s new swing, why he’s so beloved by kids and what Butch Harmon has done for him mentally.
But the most fascinating parts were about his grandfather Yutaka Tanaka (Yutaka is actually also Rickie’s middle name). Tanaka grew up for a portion of his childhood in a Japanese internment camp.
