Rickie is in Rio. U.S. golf Olympian Rickie Fowler flew to Rio to help kick off the Opening Ceremonies at the 2016 Olympics. He hung with Michael Phelps, met the U.S. diving team and generally seemed to enjoy himself.
“The Olympics has always been something I’ve enjoyed watching,” said Fowler. “What it stands for and seeing how much it means to these other athletes here. It just seems like a pretty amazing event, and I didn’t want to miss out on it.
“It’s been awesome. I’ve been getting checked in … getting to meet some of the other athletes, it’s pretty cool so far.
