Continued from page 11 Once a promising motocross competitor, Ricky turned his attention to competitive golf at the age of 14. As a student and golfer at Oklahoma State, Fowler made a name for himself on – and off - the course. As a freshman, he was the youngest recipient of the 2008 Ben Hogan Award, given to the nation’s top men’s college golfer, and he earned the coveted Phil Mickelson Award the very same year. For the past two years, Fowler has been ranked as the world’s #1 amateur and was also part of two Walker Cup Teams. This past year, he played in several tournaments on the PGA Tour, including two US Opens Championships. Fowler played his first professional tournament earlier in the month at the Albertsons Boise Open in Idaho. In October, Rickie will join Justin Timberlake and other celebrities in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open in Las Vegas. Rickie currently resides in Murrieta, California with his parents, Lynn and Rod Fowler and sister Taylor. “It’s an honor to be part of a brand like PUMA that is so fun and light hearted but also serious when it comes to sport,” said Fowler. “The PUMA Golf line has all of the features I need to play the game well while allowing me to express my personality with great styles and a unique look, whether I’m playing golf or just hanging out with my friends.” |
