BMW Championship Round 1: Rickie Fowler Breaks Down His Game Plan
Rickie Fowler opened his 2025 BMW Championship campaign with a steady round built on fairway accuracy and smart approach play. Starting with a birdie on the first hole, Fowler kept things simple despite a pair of early bogeys, finishing the day with consistent ball-striking.
After a rain delay softened the course, Fowler noticed more receptive greens but also trickier rough. He shared how his mindset this week is more relaxed compared to last week in Memphis, yet with full awareness of what’s at stake—earning a spot in the TOUR Championship and securing top-30 status for next season’s majors.
Fowler also discussed the balance between distance and precision at Olympia Fields, how approach play is separating the field, and what worked for him on a strong stretch from holes 7 to 11. He even joked about his “playoff beard” and how his daughter might be the one who decides if it stays.
