Rickie Fowler clinches Scottish Open crown
Rickie Fowler is a product of the same sunny Southern California golf treadmill that produced Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. He’s finding the winner’s circle much easier to locate in 2015.
Andrews. Now, he will try to follow in the footsteps of his friend Phil Mickelson, who won the Scottish and British Opens back-to-back in 2013.
Fowler’s victory was impressive for a number of reason, the foremost being the fact that he never held the lead in the tournament until his birdie putt on 18 dropped.
“Overall it’s been a great week as I’ve played some lovely golf”, Brooks said.
All the talk in golf is of the fight for global domination between Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth. Fowler famously finished inside the top 5 in all four majors last season, a feat that pushed him inside the top 10 in the Official World Golf Rankings.
Perhaps that should be revised.
“The big key is preparation for next week”, Fowler said.
Trump has come under severe criticism for offensive comments made in the United States about Mexicans.
He shot 72 68 over the weekend, going out in one-under 34 on Saturday with two birdies and a bogey, but coming home in 38 with a double bogey six at the 11th an ugly blemish. With a par-4, par-5, par-3 and par-4 to finish, it was a very similar set up to Sawgrass. “Worked out just fine”.
Fowler’s victory is his second in 2015 after winning the prestigious Players Championship back in May.
Fowler went to the event to get his links game in order before next week’s British Open at St. Yang, however, will be playing on the European Tour the week after the Open, and will be looking for a few momentum heading into the PGA Championship. Fowler went on the offensive, though, and his bold sense of adventure reaped the ultimate rewards.
Jacquelin was the only one who could force a playoff, but he needed an eagle 2.
Brooks, had played the two best rounds of his career with a 64 and 65 to open up his three-shot lead, but that proved to be short-lived. He would eventually slither back into a share of seventh with a 73 for 271 although he could console himself with a place in the Open after earning one of the three exemptions along with Jacquelin and Sweden’s Rikard Karlberg.
Luke Donald was in the clubhouse on nine under after a 66, which will boost his sagging confidence ahead of St Andrews.
Eddie Pepperell and Joost Luiten joined Warren in a tie for fourth, with veteran Miguel Angel Jimenez part of the group a further stroke back.
Two Frenchman have won this event in recent years – Thomas Levet in 2004 and Gregory Havret in 2007 – and on both occasions Jacquelin was on hand to spray his compatriots with champagne afterward.
