Fowler still looking for PGA Tour win
SAN MARTIN, Calif. – Rickie Fowler came close to winning his first PGA Tour title last year at the Frys.com Open in Scottsdale, Ariz.
He's hoping a different site will bring a different result.
"There's some unfinished business," said Fowler, the U.S. Ryder Cup player decked out in a purple shirt and white pants. "I think winning is the start of the process. The more I am in contention, the more comfortable I feel."
The Fall Series event has shifted to CordeValle Golf Club, about 30 miles south of San Jose, Calif.
"I want to put myself in contention to have a chance to win on Sunday," Fowler said. "The Fall Series was a big part of me getting started on the tour. It gave me the confidence."
The colorful 21-year-old Fowler followed his impressive performance last season by finishing second twice this season, climbing to No. 33 in the rankings.
"That was my second tournament and I have to thank Frys for giving me the spot," Fowler said. "It gave me the confidence to go to Q-School, get my card and run around the tour in 2010."
Team Fowler even won the pro-am Wednesday.
Fowler began playing in tournaments at the age of 4 1/2, and spent hours hitting balls at the driving range.
"I had a coach from when I was 7 through high school," Fowler said. "Basically he sat in a chair, smoked a cigar and watched me swing. He didn't know how to run a video camera. But he taught me how to teach myself."
