Has Rickie Fowler Ever Won A Major

So, there I was, at the 18th hole of the PGA Championship, 2014. Rickie Fowler's standing on the green, got this massive crowd around him, and I'm thinking, "This is it. This is his moment." I mean, the guy's been on fire all day, and the crowd's loving it. But then, he taps in for par, and the crowd goes silent. No, not because he missed the eagle, but because they're waiting for the guy who's been leading all day - Rory McIlroy. That's when it hit me, "Rickie Fowler's never won a Major."

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Rickie's a choker. The guy's got five PGA Tour wins, and he's consistently in the top 10. But when it comes to the big four - the Masters, the U.S. Open, the Open Championship, and the PGA Championship - well, he's still searching for that elusive 'W'.

So, why not Rickie?

Let's rewind a bit. Rickie burst onto the scene in 2010, finishing second at the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship. He was the next big thing, the fresh face of golf. But fast forward to 2021, and he's still searching for that first Major. So, what's the deal?

Well, it's not like Rickie's been unlucky. He's had his chances. He's been in contention in the final round of all four Majors. He's had the lead at the Masters in 2018 and the PGA Championship in 2014. But something always seems to happen. He shoots a final round 73 at the Masters in 2018, and Patrick Reed takes the green jacket. He bogeys the last hole at the PGA Championship in 2014, and Rory McIlroy wins by one.

It's not that Rickie can't close. He's won plenty of times on Tour. It's just that when it comes to the Majors, something seems to go awry. Maybe it's the pressure, maybe it's the course setups, maybe it's just the golf gods having a laugh. Who knows?

But hey, it's not all doom and gloom

Rickie's still young, well, young-ish. He's only 32, and he's still got plenty of time to add a Major to his resume. He's got the game, he's got the talent, and he's got the crowd on his side. He just needs that little bit of luck, that little bit of magic.

And who knows, maybe one day, I'll be standing at the 18th hole, and Rickie will be walking up to tap in for eagle, and the crowd will go wild, not because they're waiting for someone else, but because they know they're watching a Major champion. Until then, we'll just have to wait and see. But hey, that's what makes golf so darn exciting, right?
