Rickie Fowler among several big names to miss Shriners cut

What did Rickie Fowler do during his nearly two-month break from competitive golf? He began a six-week clean-eating program.

“It was a good way to clean out,” Fowler told Golfweek Magazine earlier this week ahead of his season debut in Las Vegas. “I’m fresh and ready to go.”

Fowler’s return to action, though, didn’t go quite as planned. After missing out on the FedExCup Playoffs last season, Fowler missed the cut by a shot Friday at the Shriners Children’s Open, his first start since the Wyndham Championship in August, when he also failed to make the weekend.
