Rickie Fowler Carries Elevated Risk Heading into Wyndham Championship
3 years agoRickie Fowler is another one of those golfers that have had a wild summer ride between COVID and some inconsistent play. He has finished outside the top-30 in his last three tournaments entered. What can Fowler do this week at the Wyndham? The Sedgefield course has seen increasing scores through the years and Fowler's putting has been problematic to that end. Can he shoot anywhere from -17 to -22? That appears doubtful. His birdie average is just 73rd on tour at 3.76 per round. The golfer's overall strokes gained play is normally more a strength but he ranks 94th at 0.186. Given his lack of ability to make putts, Fowler is just increasingly dicey this week.
