The former amateur golf world number one has continued to make a strong impression this season and frequently displayed his abilities on the course. Although he has yet to win a championship, Fowler’s consistent play has ensured a continuous flow of income, with just one cut missed in 2023.

The golfer’s recent performances are especially remarkable because they included a great T6 result at the Charles Schwab Challenge and a top-10 finish at the Memorial Tournament. Fowler, who is regarded as one of the most talented players who has not yet achieved a large triumph, appeared prepared to have a big impact on the next Los Angeles competition.

In Fowler’s preparations for the approaching big championship, a slight setback has occurred. An Oklahoma State University graduate reportedly hurt his back after finishing his final round at the Muirfield Village Golf Club, according to a Twitter source. 

Fowler’s injury appears to be of a minor nature despite the fact that he finished the competition with a solid two-under-par, five strokes behind the victor. According to reports, he is reportedly receiving cold water therapy to assure his preparedness for the upcoming US Open, which will start on June 15.
