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.”
