Rickie Fowler had struggled for most of the day on Sunday at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open at Gullane Golf Club. After being even par for most of the day, he slipped two strokes off the pace when he bogeyed the 14th after driving into a fairway bunker, but bounced back by playing the final four holes in three-under (birdie-birdie-par-birdie) to finish one clear of Matt Kuchar and Raphael Jacquelin. This is his first European Tour win and it was a finish that was reminiscent of his victory earlier in the year at THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass.
“Phil [Mickelson] mentioned to me win this and there’s a good chance you win next week so I had to take care of business. I don’t know what’s so special about links golf but it’s my favorite. The golf course can play so different day after day and it presents a new challenge. It was a good test this week at Gullane.”
With Jordan Spieth winning again at the John Deere Classic, American Golf has never looked stronger. Both players will be entering the third Major Championship of the season at The Open Championship at The Home of Golf as favourites for the tournament – Spieth, who is going for his third Major in a row and Fowler, who is still looking for his first Major after finishing in the top-5 in all Major Championships last year. Take a look at Fowler’s swing in slow motion below!
The swing that tamed the links.
