FOWLER COMPLETES CAREER-COMEBACK VICTORY AT ROCKET MORTGAGE CLASSIC
Rickie Fowler has won on the PGA TOUR for the first time in more than four years.
Fowler birdied the final hole of regulation and the first hole of a three-man playoff Sunday to win the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Fowler shot a final-round 68 to finish tied with Adam Hadwin and Collin Morikawa. Fowler’s birdie on the 18th hole was his first since the seventh hole.
“It’s hard to really put it all into words,” Fowler said afterward while holding his daughter Maya. “Obviously a lot of good stuff this year and been playing some really good golf, so I knew it was just a matter of time with how I’ve been playing. I’ve had a couple tough weekends where I had a chance. Winning is great but there is a lot more to life than that.”
Fowler, whose last win came at the 2019 WM Phoenix Open, started Sunday with the lead and made three birdies on his first seven holes. He hit his approach to the 72nd hole to 3 feet and made the putt before holing an 11-footer on the same green minutes later. This was Fowler’s eighth top-10 of the season – his most since 2017 – and came on the heels of four consecutive top-15 finishes.
He shared the 54-hole lead two weeks ago at the U.S. Open after shooting a tournament-record 62 in the first round and shot a personal-record 60 in the third round of last week’s Travelers Championship.
The win moved him to eighth in the FedExCup standings.
Congratulations Rickie!! You are the People's Champion and a True, True loved Champion. I'm 60 years old and look up to you. Well done young man!!!!
Good to see him getting a win, showing how never giving up pays off
Clearly playing against Rick Shiels was the turning point for Rickie!!

Happy for Rickie
Well done Rickie, did yourself, AND your sponsor proud, God bless you and your family. !🧡
Way to go Rickie. Now head to LIV golf much better to watch
Alright, Rickie! Glad to see your breakthrough!
I was so worried he wore the damn orange again.
Ya just knew he was going to pick up a win, really soon. He has been playing up to his potential lately, but not winning can also create some unwelcomed demons in a seasoned player like Rick.
Now, that pressure is off, so I hope to expect more of the same, in the future.
Knowing you can win, is much different than hoping that you can still win.
Excellent work Mr. Fowler.
Great work! After a great build up. Congratulations.
Good grief, Charlie Brown !
All the shit he waa given about being washed up and not winning and he stayed quiet and humble the entire time..just kept grinding and going to work and here we are…way to go Ricky Fowler
