Rickie Fowler checks the box in search of great but another approaches

Rickie Fowler exploited most of his sponsor’s exclusion in the 2025 commemorative tournament.

Fresh in a strong week in Charles Schwab Challenge, Fowler sailed well Muirfield Village this week in Dublin, Ohio, going 69-73 on the weekends to end up in a tie for seventh place. Scottie Scheffler successfully defended his title with a four -shot win over Ben Griffin.

But with the Top-10 conclusion, Fowler scored his ticket to the 153rd open championship in Royal Portrush. The memorial tournament had an open championship place to give the non -excluded player that ended up. Fowler ended up in a tie with Brandt Singeker, who shot a last round 65, but Fowler won the country through his country in the official world golf ranking.

But Fowler has now posted three Top-16 conclusions on his last four starts, including a T15 in the signing event of the Truist championship and a T7 this week in Memorial.

Fowler, who has been convinced he is doing the right job and is a better golf player than he was during his erection a decade ago, finally seeing his watch grinding at the background.

“I’m in a much better place now against the beginning of the year or I’m going to where I was last year,” Fowler said. “It has been fighting a lot and doing a lot of work and trying to stay as patient as possible. At the beginning we finally see some good things, and for work to start paying, so I’m excited for tournaments that go first and foremost, and see if we can go play a strong golf and go to take a time.”

Rickie Fowler was given a chance to play his way to Royal Portrush. He did it.

On Monday, he will have to do it again to reach Oakmont.
