Friend of the blog Adam Sarson wrote a terrific piece on Rickie Fowler today. Fowler won the Honda Classic on Sunday over another Poke, Morgan Hoffmann and Gary Woodland (Kansas) by four strokes. Sarson wrote about why this win, though criticized by some, was impressive.
He addresses the comments of NBC broadcaster Johnny Miller.
It wasn’t the easiest Sunday for Fowler, who entered the final round with a four shot lead and while he ended with that same lead, some loose shots along the way led to four bogeys and a double.
Quality shots and lights out putting also gave Fowler five birdies on the day at the notoriously difficult PGA National, but as Fowler was walking to the 18th tee needing a birdie to set a new course scoring record of -14, NBC’s Johnny Miller decided to take aim at Fowler’s performance.
