Rickie Fowler is one of the great golf players around the world, isn't he? In this article, I would like to tell you the latest golf news about Rickie Fowler.
Fist at all, let's knows the basic information about Rickie Fowler. Rickie Fowler is an American professional golfer. He was the number one ranked amateur golfer in the world for 36 weeks in 2007 and 2008.
Now, Rickie Fowler is raring to go ahead of his first trip to The Masters and is hoping to buck the trend of Augusta rookies failing to land the green jacket after being given a lesson in how to play the course by Phil Mickelson last week.
Fowler was the 2010 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year after having seven top-10 finishes and also fared well enough in the Ryder Cup to show that he can cope with new experiences and fresh surroundings.
"To have a chance to play in my first Masters as a professional, after my good year last year, it's something I dreamed about as a little kid," said Fowler. "Obviously I watched plenty of Masters growing up. The Green Jacket is something that means quite a bit in the golf community.
"I'm playing well right now. I feel like if I go into the week with high expectations, I feel like there's a chance that we could be walking up 18 in contention and that's something I've dreamed about, the special walk up 18; so just to be a part of this week is pretty cool."
Fowler has an advantage over most first-timers at Augusta, having partnered three-time champion Mickelson on a practice round recently - even if he was taken to school by Lefty prior to his Houston Open success.
Fowler is also refusing to write off Tiger Woods returning to form and picking up a fifth green jacket, despite seeing the former world No 1 slip down the rankings this season. "Tiger is struggling but I don't have any doubt that he's going to get his confidence back and start playing well again," said Fowler.
