Rickie Fowler

[enis750]

I know I would :) BTW.....I hate Crosby more lol

hate Crosby!! haha!

someone bitter because WE WON Gold!! hahah! Crosby is amazing - nuff said Fowler - can't even be compared to Crosby (in their respective sports) kid's good...not that good but yes, now that his card is good for 2011 and he has some bank - he should start taking more chances almost a mil banked since his debut in Sept. of 09 is pretty good (gotta make those sponsors happy)

Oh, man, I should've realized that I'm the only one who uses "gagger-vance" as a verb. It means "to choke," punning on the golf movie "The Legend of Bagger Vance." My error.

LOL. My bad for not having seen "The Legend of ........", I'll rent it a.s.a.p. Anyway I figured the reference was choke-related.

Yes, Agassi is a fine one. So is Ivan Lendl. He went from being one of the biggest chokers in the history of tennis IMO (and thus the most frustrating to watch), to one of the toughest 5-set comeback merchants that I can recall. He ran everything down and wore everyone out toward the end of his career. Maybe it was the Africa Corps headgear or something ...... IMO though we aren't talking about choking here, we're talking about a carefully made decision - one that RF seems to feel comfortable with (but then again, what's he gonna say? ...). Benefit of the doubt, I says. They guy's "laughing all the way to the bank" - bravo to him!

He seems to re-route his swing to the inside before his downswing, so it's not exactly textbook, but he gets great results.

seems like he just has a really early wrist hinge that puts the clubhead way outside then by midway he seems to be normal...back in the day that was Johnny Miller's swing. as time goes on will be interesting to see some of the geeks breakdown his swing.

hate Crosby!! haha!

Don't take it personally. A lot of Canadians Sid haters were euphoric that Sid scored for Canada, but as of Tuesday they've already gone back to calling him Cindy. Most people have downed the Sidney kool aid (sorry - Gatorade) by now - many others have not.

Im a Redwings fan so......




Anyways, back to Fowler. Do you guys think he will win more than once this year?

Absolutey

.......if you look at all the 21 year olds who've played PGA tour events in the last, say, thirty years.......no doubt Rickie Fowler is flat spectacular thus far.......

so regarding the layup at the par five.......

#1:if there's a bellcurve for the above described category, this guy is way up in the high ninety percentiles.......and thus,#2 : "he's paying the cost to be the boss" (i.e., if you consistently do this well your first ten times out, "YOU'RE the guy who knows when to layup" vis a vis "your own golf game").......

[Kamas]

I don't see why people are giving him crap for the layup . Really... He obviously is a smart kid and was more comfortable with laying up. I would do what I would be more comfortable with too in that situation rather than try to force a win/lose situation. People should be commending his decision. If he had not layed up and say landed in the water everyone would be asking why he didnt lay up. He is a great golfer and we will definatly be seeing this kid alot. I am predicting 2 wins this season from Fowler.

[Bubba_13]

He needs to find some consistency. One week he is finishing in the top 5 and then he follows by missing the cut.
I really like watching Fowler he brings a new fresh feel to the game.

[walk18]

I say he gets 1 win later this year.

[Jay-Bird]

I hit a 56˚ wedge to three feet yesterday - instantly called a "Rickie Fowler wedge" by my playing partner... NOOOOO!!!!!

[acj990]

I can see him winning this year, but not until the Fall Series. I just don't see him winning before the playoffs. Maybe a runner up one more time, but no win. I think he's a great golfer, its good for the tour. He's got to do something with his mop-top hair and large puma logos everywhere, they're both kinda annoying. Gilschk!

Does Fowler move over to Cobra now that it has been purchased by Puma?

[enis750]

depends......how big of cheque is Cobra/Puma going to write??? ;)

I could see it OR...is Camillo going to wear Puma now, over J.Lindberg? we may see some sponsor changes in the near future.......

[pearfootball]

Just proves you dont have to swing it perfect to be good. Luke Goddard (2009 GB&I; Walker Cup Player) is a member at my club, so therefore I have played and practised with him. His swing is undoubtably technically more sound that Rickie's, however shows this does not count for all that much!

[Three Putt]

Rickie Fowler......Very nice young player. Always stopped and signed autographs on the way to the practice tee at the Transitions. Waved to the fans on the way from green to tee boxes.
Awesome player also. Followed him for a few holes, including his double bogey on the 1st yesterday.

I see him winning a good amount of tournaments.

Rickie drove the ball 340 today.They made a comment about Phil blasting the ball but then said "Fowler with his tiny frame blasted one 340!"
