Golf World Reacts to Disappointing Rickie Fowler News

Former number 1 amateur golfer Rickie Fowler is an American pro-PGA Tour golfer. The 33-year-old player also reached the fourth rank worldwide in the Official World Golf Ranking in 2016.

However, Fowler recently failed to qualify for the U.S. Open on Monday. Fowler reached the final qualifying site where he played 36 holes, but unfortunately missed the cut and couldn’t qualify for the U.S. Open.

Fans were very affected by his elimination and shared their feelings on Twitter. A recent tweet by one of Rickie Fowler’s fan pages said, “Par on 18. Rickie Fowler fails to qualify for the 2022 US Open. This hurts.”

Golf fans on Twitter were not happy about the news, and more than that, they were disappointed with Rickie’s performance. Some even compared his game to 17-year-old golfers who qualified quite easily and yet, Rickie couldn’t make it.

70 players were in competition for four spots. The players who finally made it to those spots are Keith Greene, Sean Jacklin, Fred Biondi, and Ryan Gerard. Unfortunately, Fowler wasn’t one of them.
