Golf Fans Celebrating Rickie Fowler's Achievement Sunday Night
Golf Fans Celebrating Rickie Fowler's Achievement Sunday Night originally appeared on The Spun. Rickie Fowler is deserving of some congratulations on Sunday evening. The former Oklahoma State Cowboys golfer, known for rocking all-orange on Sundays, hasn't been in contention at big tournaments in a while. Fowler, now 36, was once viewed in a similar group to Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, etc. He was No. 4 in the world in 2016. Previously, he was the No. 1 ranked amateur golfer in the world for 36 weeks in 2007 and 2008. Fowler has fallen on tough times in recent years, going through different swing coaches, strategies and more. He didn't play in The Masters in four of the past five years. He didn't play in the U.S. Open in three of the past five years. He's finished in the Top 10 of a major tournament just twice in six years. However, Fowler is making a big move in the FedEx Championship. Fowler finished in a tie for sixth place at the St. Jude Championship on Sunday. His finish guarantees him a spot in the BMW Championship. It also guarantees him a spot in all of the signature events next year. "WE ARE MOVING ON! RICKIE FOWLER HAS QUALIFIED FOR THE BMW CHAMPIONSHIP. IN FOR ALL SIGNATURE EVENTS NEXT YEAR!" Rickie Fowler Tracker shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. Congratulations are pouring in for Fowler on Sunday evening, following his major achievement. "This is Awesome!!!👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎," one fan wrote. "Didn't play great today but good enough!!!!" one fan added. "So happy for him man, his games been trending big time for the last 2/3 months, why not go and win the damn thing next week," one fan added. "Golf is a better place with Rickie," one fan added. "Never been more proud to be a Rickie fan. This guy could've taken the LIV money, but instead was busting his butt to qualify on his own merit for 2026," one fan added. "What a roller coaster ride. At least NBC covered most of his round," one fan added. Well done, Rickie!

Tommy Fleetwood Fades Again While Justin Rose Takes $3.6M FedEx St. Jude Paycheck
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Tommy Fleetwood again fell just short of his first PGA Tour title, finishing tied for third at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The Englishman started the third round leading by one stroke but was unable to avoid being overtaken by Justin Rose and JJ Spaun. Fleetwood carded three birdies and two bogeys on Sunday for a final round score of 69, taking his 72-hole score to 15-under. His three birdies came between holes 12 and 15, when he temporarily regained the lead, but a bogey on the 17th eliminated his chances of challenging for the title in a playoff. "I'm obviously going to be disappointed," he told the reporters after his final-round performance. "I think -- I said last time, there's a lot of positives to take, as much as I don't really -- I won't feel like that right now. I'm just going to look at what I feel like I could have done and how close it was. You know, we move on. There's another week that's next and I've just got to reflect on today and obviously keep pushing forward and try and put myself in that position again." Classy interview from Tommy. Hope he gets it done soon. — Flushing It (@flushingitgolf) August 10, 2025 This is Fleetwood's sixth third-place finish in his PGA Tour career, with six other second-place finishes. The most recent of these came at the Travelers Championship, when he also lost to Keegan Bradley on the final hole. Meanwhile, JJ Spaun and Rose finished tied in regulation at 16-under. Spaun fired 5-under for the final round to climb three spots on the leaderboard, while Rose carded three under, to tie for the lead. The playoff extended to three holes. The Englishman took home his 12th career PGA Tour title, as well as the $3.6 million paycheck reserved for the winner.

Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose of Team Great Britain & Ireland walk off the 18th green after winning their match during the foursomes matches on day two of the Team Cup at Abu Dhabi Golf Resort on January 11, 2025 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. More"Played unbelievable golf coming down the stretch," Rose told the reporters after winning the event. "I had so much fun with it. 18 was playing perfectly for me today. If I pulled it, I carried it, if I held it up -- I hit a couple good putts in regulation and in the first playoff hole as well. Obviously J.J. dropped a bomb on me, I topped him. It was a lot of fun today." "That's why I practice. That's why I play. I've been saying for some time now, obviously Augusta, when I bring my best, I know I'm good enough to play and to compete, and to now win against the best players in the world. Very gratifying day for me and a lot of hard work coming to fruition." With this victory, Rose will climb to fourth in the FedEx Cup rankings, behind only Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and JJ Spaun. Rose already knows what it's like to win the FedEx Cup, having done so in 2018. More Golf: Max Homa Cheers Wife as Newborn Son, Austin, Adds Joy to Family
