RIO DE JANEIRO – Rickie Fowler has had many “pinch me” moments so far at the Olympics. And the first round doesn’t start until Thursday.
Fowler was the only American golfer to march in the Opening Ceremony last Friday, where he got to hang with swimmer Michael Phelps and NBA stars, among others. He’s been staying in the athlete’s village, where he’s hung out with the diving team while watching many other Olympic events on TV.
But the moments that have stuck with him the most so far have been when others have simply showed gratitude for him being here.
