PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Rickie Fowler is right when he says major championships, or lack thereof, will not define him as a man. Despite his neon attire, rock-star hair, and skater-boy approach to his craft, Fowler has long proven to be one of the game's oldest souls.
Over the years he has delivered heartfelt tributes to Arnold Palmer and Payne Stewart, and has shown the kind of respect for his elders and contemporaries that would make any parent proud. But in the end, Fowler is rich and famous because he is a highly-skilled professional golfer.
