We all witnessed the upsetting loss of Jon Rahm at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play. And guess who defeated him? The PGA Tour pro-Rickie Fowler. The way Spaniard has been playing this year, no one expected that the former number-one amateur golfer would defeat him. But the tables turned, magic happened, and the golf world reacted to it. Now the question arises, will Fowler show his magic at Masters 2023 as well?

The Instagram handle of the PGA Tour posted a series of videos of Fowler’s first round with Rahm. “Upset alert 🚨 @RickieFowler takes down Jon Rahm in their first round match @DellMatchPlay.” The match began with Fowler losing two holes to the Spaniard, but on the eighth hole, the universe began to turn in his favor. With a par, the PGA Tour pro completed the 460-yard par 4, cutting his deficit to just one. Rahm struggled throughout the final nine holes while Fowler made three birdies. By the par-3 17th hole, when both players made par, the Oklahoma State graduate had increased his lead over Rahm to two, giving him the group stage triumph.

Comments like “Rickie winning the masters ????” and “Fowler will win the masters” show the fans are excited to witness Fowler at Masters this year. However, his recent success will be tested at Austin Country Club this week at the Match Play, where his Master’s invitation could be on the line.

After this week, the Top 50 players in the world will receive invitations to the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. The PGA Tour player was ranked no. 59 in the world when he entered Austin. Although he has recently been playing much better, he must remain focused if he wants to travel to Augusta in two weeks. Even the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship winner knows what he needs to do. He said, “I’m going to need to play well all three days.”
