The Abu Dhabi HSBC is just the latest in a series of wins for the 27-year-old Rickie Fowler. His notable breakthrough win at the Player’s as well as at the Scottish Open and Deustche Bank Championships has him sitting in 4th place in the current worldwide rankings. This is a remarkable move to the top in the last 9 months for this talented, handsome and seemingly kindhearted young athlete. He is really giving his millions of fans something to cheer for.
Will this win in Abu Dhabi be the springboard he needs to pull through to win a major this year? Having finished in the top 10 in half a dozen majors already, it is altogether possible that it will be. His focus does not waver when the pressure is on. Even at a young age, early in his golfing career, Rickie was setting course records in Southern California State tournaments and winning regional titles. In college at Oklahoma State, he was the first freshman to win the NCAA Player of the year award. This guy is made to win and seems to thrive in the spotlight. He is unique to the professional golf scene and leads the way for other aspiring young athletes. Go Rickie Go!
