I have stopped subscribing to the Golf Channel (no thanks to you Astro!) and so have to rely on golf channel app. on my phone for updates on results etc.
Just days after being voted "most overrated player" Rickie Fowler took care of business and won The Players Championship, his 2nd PGA tournament after a playoff with Sergio Garcia and Kevin Kisner. The way he got into the playoff though, is what will stand out for years to come.
Rickie was 1 over on his round and five shots back through 12 holes. He played the last 6 holes (13 - 18) 6 under, including an eagle on the Par 5 16th.
He then
birdied No. 17 (the iconic island green) again in the playoff – twice.
For a player that enjoys such popularity with players and fans alike, I found it odd that he tied with Ian Poulter for the title of "most over rated player" in a recent anonymous poll. I don't care for anonymous polls (namely because there are no parameters spelt out, so the integrity of the poll comes into question) and I thought Rickie enjoyed a great year in 2014. No wins, but 4 top 5's in all the majors certainly has to count for something.
This was a huge victory ($1.8 mil paycheck ain't too shabby either) referred to as the unofficial 5th major so I am hoping this will spur him on to greater things.
Overrated? I think not. And that's how you take care of business.
In other news, I have 'invested' in yet another golf GPS watch. The Bushnell Neo XS. More on that next.
