Fast moving game, this one.
I think he's only one year younger. And Day has a few more wins.Papelbon's Poutine said:Whoa, I think that's going a bit far. A year ago we were finishing up a season where Fowler was top 5 in all four majors. He didn't match that this season, but winning the Players isn't exactly winning in Hawaii in January. Prior to an hour ago he had just as good a resume as Day and is two years younger. Let's pump the brakes on shitting on Fowler.
Golf is down in the amateur world, but as to professional just keep an eye on the sponsors for tournaments and the purses. If those remain steady you have your answer.Dave Stapleton said:While this is true and I agree I would like to know what the ratings and other measurables show. Just wondering if the sport stil maintains broad appeal or if it back to being a niche for diehards like is.
Yes, I thought they said he was 28 on the telecast but looking he will turn 28 in a couple months. He has 5 wins to Fowler's 2. Before today I think 4/2 with a Players puts Fowler on pretty good footing in comparison. Someone can argue the nitty gritty, but my point is that I think saying that Fowler is only notable for his colorful clothing is going a bit far. The guy is legit and it it wouldn't shock me one bit to see him win a major next year.WayBackVazquez said:I think he's only one year younger. And Day has a few more wins.
