When a reporter asked him if they had all planned on what they were wearing for the event, Fowler replied, “We were all planning to get suits made. JT and I did that. Jordan didn’t get one made. He got a lot of flak for his suit looking wrinkled. But in his defense, it did look good. It was the car ride, sitting in there for an hour. It didn’t do him justice.” Fowler has played the role of a good friend and came to Jordan’s defense. However, their run at the Scottish Open was not that great.
