Not making the cut at the 2023 PGA Championship might have been a huge blow to Rickie Fowler‘s career. Moreover, his close chances of tasting victory at the Charles Schwab Challenge or at the other three events in a row, including the US Open, must have certainly left a wound in his heart.

But none of it made the fan-favorite PGA Tour pro emotional, as he had been tasting the same bitter feeling for the last four years of his career. However, the moment he made the final putt at the 2023 Rocket Morgage Classic, Fowler couldn’t help himself. His eyes were filled with tears of joy as he knew he had finally made it. He has finally won and ended his winless drought in professional golf!

While he would undoubtedly never forget these moments, they wouldn’t be the first thing he would remember when he thought back on them.

Listening to the unending roar from hundreds of fans present at the event and their wide grins will be the scenes that continuously flash before his eyes forever.
