Sometimes, change is good for everybody.
And so far, recent personnel changes for Rickie Fowler seem to be paying off after Day 1 of the Zozo Championship in Japan.
Fowler, winless since the 2019 WM Phoenix Open, opened with a 3-under 67 and sits T-6, three shots off Brendan Steele's 18-hole lead.
Last month, Fowler split with his swing coach, John Tillery, after three years. In August, ahead of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Fowler, who had only one top-10 last season, parted ways with caddie Joe Skovron, who had been on Fowler's bag since he turned pro in 2009.
