Rickie Fowler reacts to qualifying for The Open Championship after his top-10 finish at the Memorial Tournament
Rickie Fowler enjoyed a really positive week at the Memorial Tournament, and he qualified for The Open Championship as a result of his tie for seventh.
Fowler has really struggled with his form over the past few years, but there are signs that he is slowly returning to somewhere near his best.
The 36-year-old ended the Memorial Tournament at one-under-par after four extremely solid rounds of 72, 73, 69 and 73.
Fowler was in contention to win at the Charles Schwab Challenge last week, and he backed that up with a really solid showing at Muirfield Village.
The six-time PGA Tour winner has oodles of talent and ability. Now is the time for him to get back to his best and find his way inside the winner’s circle again.
The thing is, when the man from Murrieta, California, is at his best, he is good enough to win a major championship.
And he’ll now get a chance to do just that at Royal Portrush in July.
Rickie Fowler reacts to qualifying for The Open Championship after the Memorial Tournament
There was a big prize up for grabs at Muirfield Village this week, aside from the $4 million cheque for winning the golf tournament, of course!
There was one spot up for grabs at The Open Championship for the highest finisher who wasn’t otherwise exempt to play at Royal Portrush.
And Fowler just edged out Brandt Snedeker due to the fact that he was ranked higher in the Official Golf World Rankings before the tournament began.
Fowler spoke to reporters after earning his spot at The Open and shared his sheer delight at the fact that he will be heading to Northern Ireland in July.
He said, “Well, we’re heading the right way. This week still could have been a lot better, but definite positive is going over to Portrush. That’s one I’ve wanted on the schedule. I had a great time when we were there the last and had a decent showing as well. So links golf’s my favourite, Portrush is a great spot, so excited for that opportunity.“
Fowler then went on to highlight just how much more confident he is now compared to earlier on in the season.
He said, “I’m in a lot better spot now versus earlier in the year or going into where I was last year. Been fighting hard and putting a lot of work in and trying to stay as patient as possible. Starting to finally see some good things and that work start to pay off, so I’m excited for tournaments heading up first and foremost tomorrow and see if we can go play some solid golf and go get ourselves a tee time at Oakmont and go from there.“
The 36-year-old will now be desperate to get his game in tip-top condition so that he can actually contend at The Open.
However, the next item on his agenda will be attempting to qualify for the US Open on Monday.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
