What's wrong with Rickie/Ricky/Rick/Richard/Dick Fowler?

His game seems to be all over the place the past few months........

Too much money for not winning?

Too much partying?

Domestication?

What???

EDIT: I am not bashing young Mr. Fowler. It seems some think that is the case.

I like and root for the guy. Just seems to be off as of late.....

"The Stokke Effect"

*ie...

the guy is living his life...sometimes it causes guys to slow down. fear not, he will continue to contend and not win majors.

My suspicion as well.

Nothing.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

He doesn’t really know what PMI means and is afraid to ask.

Needs to grow up and start being called Rick.

The stache and mullet.

married an athlete.

Yeah...what's wrong with a guy who makes probably $5M a year min, has a very attractive spouse/fiancee and travels the world playing a game?

Maybe he’s just not an elite tour player like everyone wants him to be.

Who is Ricky Fowler?

You won't find him on a leader board but check Rocket mortgage, he looks just like a modern take on a PGA golfer!

I saw him on the balcony after his round today and realized if I were him I wouldn't even be able to swing a club. I'm not sure how he gets out of bed every morning.

Might not make it to the Hall of Fame, but he is the definition of elite tour player. Plays every major, makes every Ryder cup team, plays in the tour championship nearly every year, rarely drops out of the top 25.

Wait...give me a minute...

Not familiar with this reference - care to enlighten me?

I obviously have no idea how much time he dedicates to golf and am not questioning his work ethic but if I had to guess he has more recently been focusing on non-golf activities. How he spends his time is his call. It is a shame to see a sporadic year (despite the win at the WMO) because he seemed so close to turning the corner while working with Butch the past few years. Anyways, he is still young and has plenty of time to win one to a few majors.

I had to look it up myself...has something to do with high chairs !?!?

These threads always seems to be started by people who can't get his name right.

I was going to ask the same question....

Google Allison Stokke, Ricky's fiance.

Improper thread title. Needs to be changed to "What up with Rickie?"

Seriously. We've got What Up With Jordan and Rory...how do you mess that up?!

Thought we were talking Ricky Barnes for a second

Other than the occasional double - or two - on Saturday and Sunday? Nothing.
