The 19th Hole Golf Show: Rickie Fowler takes a big step

Rickie Fowler picked up his second PGA Tour win on a big stage at The Players Championship, winning a three-man playoff after playing the final six holes of regulation in a staggering 6 under par. We talk about what this means for Fowler moving forward and if it might translate into a major championship this season.

We also talk about the momentum golf now enjoys heading into the U.S. Open and how Fox Sports should be able to generate great interest in the year’s second major with Fowler, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth playing so well.

Finally, we talk about the importance in remembering that athletes are people and that impacts what they do on and off the course.
