Recently, Ricky Fowler risked losing his PGA Tour membership card. He struggled mightily and began working with legendary trainer Butch Harmon, who helped tinker with his swing.
The changes paid immediate dividends. Fowler has returned to form and threatened to win numerous tournaments, including the recent U.S. Open. It has failed most of the time – until now. He has the win he was looking for after improving his swing.
However, this victory did not come easily. He shot excellently at 24 under, but Adam Hadwin and Collin Morikawa did the same for the rare three-under elimination. Fowler edged them one shot to win, leaving them in a P2 finish at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
The field was so good at the Rocket Mortgage Classic that the cut line was three under par. Several golfers had good plays throughout the cup, but not good enough. This includes Trey Mullinax, Akshay BhatiaTony Finau (the favorite bet to win everything) and Hideki Matsuyama.
