The news came in the form of a status update on his Facebook fan page: "Just found out I will be taking the John Deere Classic Charter flight over Sunday night to play in the British Open next week!!"Rickie, who's ranked 37th in the world, got into the Open Championship field... along with Jeff Overton... by being one of the two highest-ranked players, not already exempt.
At this point the extended outlook for St. Andrews is looking kind of cool and showery, so hopefully Rickie'll pack some of those gorgeous PUMA
In any case, the legions of Rickie Fowler in the UK fans will certainly be delighted... and I've got a number of readers who are undoubtedly scouring the internet at this very moment for last minute flights, accomodations and multi-day passes, destination: St. Andrews.
We're going over for the first time. Happy to see that Rickie will be there and curious to see the fan reception.
ReplyDeleteYay Rickie! I always look forward to seeing him play.
ReplyDeleteRickie doesn't have to worry about the weather, everything looks good on him. ;o) Plays pretty well in wet weather too from what I've seen.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the golf fans at St. Andrews will love Rickie Fowler. We missed having him at Pebble Beach. :(
