Rickie Fowler, the American professional golfer, has finally broken his four-year winless streak in dramatic fashion. On Sunday, Fowler clinched the victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, Michigan, after a thrilling three-way playoff against fellow golfers Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin.
Fowler had not won a tournament since the 2017 Honda Classic, and had been struggling to find his form in recent years. However, he was able to turn it around this weekend, shooting a final round of 66 to finish at 20-under par. This was good enough to tie him with Morikawa and Hadwin, who both shot 64 in the final round.
The playoff began on the 18th hole, where Fowler was able to make a birdie to secure the victory. This was his fifth career PGA Tour win, and his first since 2017. It also marked the first time that a playoff at the Rocket Mortgage Classic had gone to three players.
Fowler was elated after the win, saying “It’s been a long time coming. I’m just so happy to finally get back in the winner’s circle.” He also thanked his family and friends for their support throughout his winless streak.
The victory was especially sweet for Fowler, who had been close to winning several times in recent years. He had finished second in two tournaments this year alone, and had also finished in the top 10 in five of his last eight starts.
Fowler’s win is a reminder that even when things seem bleak, it’s never too late to turn it around. He was able to break his winless streak in dramatic fashion, and will now look to build on this success as he continues his career. Congratulations to Rickie Fowler on his victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic!
