Rickie Fowler picked up his first win in over four years on Sunday and he did so in dramatic fashion with a birdie on the 18th hole to get into a three-man playoff. Following that clutch moment, Fowler then drained another birdie putt on the same hole to beat Adam Hadwin and Collin Morikawa at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. 

Fowler’s reaction to his winning putt was pretty great, as you could see the sense of relief take over his whole body. The fan favorite has been playing really good golf over the past few months and the win meant so much to him.

You know what else was pretty great? Hadwin’s reaction to Fowler’s winning putt. 

Pretty classy stuff right there from a guy who just missed out on getting a win.
