We need more athletes to follow in Ricky Fowler’s footsteps!!! With everything going on in a popular athlete’s life, it makes it even more special when they go out of their way to make someone else’s day or life! I have always heard that Ricky was one of the nicest people you will ever meet, but this says it all!! Your thoughts….
Among galleries and fellow pros, Rickie Fowler is one of the most popular players in the game. This tale will only help that standing.
The 28-year-old took to Instagram to share his experience with Dr. Reyes, a man who was battling pancreatic cancer. Fowler went to Atlanta in October to share a day with Dr. Reyes, sharing lunch and playing golf. “It was a day I will remember for the rest of my life!” Fowler wrote. Before the Hero World Challenge, Dr. Reyes lost his battle with cancer.
Fast forward to that next Sunday. In the final round of Tiger Woods’ tourney, Fowler shot a course-record 61, coming back from seven shots to win the event. A charge spurred by just 21 putts, and a performance Fowler credits to his time with Dr. Reyes.
Fowler ended his post by dedicating his triumph to Dr. Reyes, and thanked Reyes for spending one of his last days with him.
“Thank you Dr. Reyes, and the win last week was for you!” Fowler said. “Rest In Peace and my thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends.”

I am not sure if anyone else has been paying attention to what Bernhard Langer is doing, but he is on an incredible streak right now! Not to mention, he is only 10 wins away from passing Hale Irwin with the most Champion Tour wins. I can’t wait to watch the events he is competing in because it is like a clinic and is awesome to see for myself. If you get a chance, you should see for yourself. Can you think of anyone playing better right now? Your thoughts….
Here’s a scary thought for the rest of the PGA Tour Champions: Bernhard Langer is getting … better?
Shrugging off any concerns that his legendary career was over following the anchoring ban, the ageless German won a personal-best seven events in 2017 to set his sights on the all-time senior wins record.
Whether it’s Steve Stricker or Jerry Kelly, David Toms or Davis Love III, every year features a new crop of PGA Tour vets who are supposed to take the senior circuit by storm. And yet no one can top Langer, even at age 60.
Across 22 events he won three majors, top-tenned 16 times and banked nearly $3.68 million, making a mockery of the PGA Tour Champions’ “playoff” system in which he somehow finished second.
Of course, all of that success breeds competitive jealousy, which is how Langer found himself in the news so often in 2017.
Many predicted that the 2016 anchoring ban would lead to Langer’s demise, but the man who has overcome the putting yips wasn’t fazed by this transition, either. Using the same broomhandle putter, he moved the end slightly away from his sternum and led the senior tour in putting.
Was it hard work that kept Langer at the top of the statistics for the sixth consecutive year, or something more sinister? Players gossiped and slow-motion replays showed that Langer’s left hand was still uncomfortably close to his chest, and so Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee went on air, called the anchor-ban enforcement “appalling” and suggested that both Langer and fellow longtime anchorer Scott McCarron (who ranked second in putting) were playing fast and loose with the rules, even though both were cleared of any wrongdoing by the USGA.
The criticism stung Langer – he repeatedly defended his actions and expressed disappointment that his integrity was called into question – but, as always, he has moved forward. Now only 10 wins from surpassing Hale Irwin as the most prolific senior champion of all time, he will continue wielding the long putter better than anyone, critics be damned.
