LAS VEGAS – Rickie Fowler has always run well in America’s Playground.
He lived here for a year after turning pro. Loves the abundant entertainment options and some of the best restaurants the world over, including Carbone at the Aria Resort and Casino, where he celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary with his wife, Allison Stokke, on Monday. And he’s played well here, notching two top-10s in four starts in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
Now he hopes the city serves as an elixir for his ailing game.
Fowler has been in a funk since winning the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open, his fifth title on the PGA Tour and ninth worldwide. In 33 starts since, he has but five top-10s. In nine starts since the PGA Tour resumed play in June after a 13-week break due to COVID-19, his best finish has been a tie for 12th in the Rocket Mortgage Classic and he’s missed four cuts.
