Rickie Fowler Had a Perfect Explanation for His Cool Reaction to Winning Putt /

Rickie Fowler got his first win on the PGA Tour in over four years last Sunday when he drained a birdie putt in the first playoff hole at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. 

His immediate reaction to that putt was priceless and golf fans everywhere loved it. They were also very happy that Fowler was finally able to get back in the winner’s circle after fighting through some tough years on Tour. 

Fowler was a guest on Smylie Kaufman’s podcast, The Smylie Show, this week and he talked about that winning putt and the reaction he had to it, saying it wasn’t planned and that he was thankful that his winless streak was “finally over.” 

That's some good stuff from Fowler.
