He's the leader of America's exciting new wave of golfing
superstars. Young, fun and gifted, Rickie Fowler has taken the
sport to a younger audience in the States - making headlines as
much for his wacky dress sense and YouTube spoofs as for his
God-given prowess with a golf club. Twenty-six-year-old Fowler, is
America's answer to Rory McIlroy, and together they represent the
gifted faces of golf for a new era: two young men destined to
contest a Trans-Atlantic rivalry for that coveted World No. 1 spot.
But it was motocross that was Rickie's first love. He had dreams of
making his name as a racer until he broke his foot in three places
at the age of fifteen. Then on, he focused purely on golf, winning
tournament after tournament in high school, until, in 2007, he was
chosen for the US's Walker Cup team and a year later became the
first university freshman ever to be awarded the NCAA Player of the
Year.Such was his burgeoning talent that in 2010 he also went on to
become the first American rookie to be selected for the Ryder Cup
and in 2014, he became only the third golfer ever to finish in the
Top 5 at all four professional majors in the same season, following
in the illustrious footsteps of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. He
was moving ever closer to that first major victory as he and
McIlroy continued to trade shots and tweets at courses around the
world for the ultimate golfing honours. But for all his colourful
clothes and joking around with fellow 'brat pack' member Bubba
Watson, Rickie has a much more serious, emotional and intellectual
side to his character. In this compelling first biography on the
figurehead of US golf's young guns, Frank Worrall provides a
fascinating portrayal of Rickie Fowler as both a fun-loving yet
altruistic human being and a single-minded golfing superstar.
