Rickie Fowler finished 20 under at the season-opening Tournament of Champions over the weekend in Hawaii. Pretty good, right? He got steamrolled by 10 strokes. Jordan Spieth was the culprit. Spieth became just the second golfer to ever finish 30 under or better in a 72-hole event.
“It’s just solid golf and I think you’re going to see a lot of that like he did last year,” said Fowler about getting drilled by the Texan. “You’re going to have to play a good solid golf tournament to have a chance to win.”
Fowler finished in fifth place which is a nice way to kick off the new year.
