In a week that heavily focused on Tiger Woods’ first competition in over a year, Rickie Fowler stole the show on Sunday to win the 2017 Hero World Challenge. After coming into the final round seven shots behind leader Charley Hoffman, Fowler had his work cut out for him. He was up for the challenge.
That’s right. The Oklahoma State legend was -8 through nine holes to take the lead. He finished -11 on the day, -18 for the tournament to claim victory.
Fowler was by far the best player in the 18-man field on Sunday.
Woods, the tournament’s host, finished his final round with a respectable 68, but a 3-over 75 hurt Woods as he finished the tournament 8-under par and 10 shots back of Fowler.
