Rickie Fowler fan

This was Rickie Fowler on the par-3 16th hole of the Masters. Behind him was his biggest fan. Fowler is sponsored by Puma and known for his fluorescent colors and flamboyant style. This little kid is all about that, too. He had on his magenta and orange checkered shirt and magenta hat and was all ready for his moment to see his favorite player. Pretty sweet that he came so close to the golfer.

Unfortunately, the lookalike fan brought no luck for Fowler. He went into the water on the hole and three-putted for a triple-bogey six to send him sliding down the leaderboard.

Bubba-Watson-Golf-BoysGolf has a reputation for being a pretty stuffy sport, but a certain foursome that calls itself “The Golf Boys” tends to deviate from the norm. Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, Hunter Mahan and Ben Crane have released another song as a follow-up of the hilarious music video called “Oh Oh Oh” that they introduced to the world a couple of summers ago.

The new track is called “2.Oh.” While I don’t find it quite as funny as their boy band debut, there are still plenty of laughs to be had and plenty of Watson’s chest hair to go around. PGA enthusiasts will appreciate the references to Fowler’s flat brims, Bubba’s button-ups and Mahan’s facial hair.

It’s refreshing for golf to be able to feature guys who have girly golf clubs and pull off hilarious pranks. It keeps the younger demographic involved and helps casual fans relate to people who are making more money in a weekend than many of us will make in our lives. Most importantly, all proceeds from their music video are donated to charity. What more can you ask for?

Believe it or not, the photo you see above is that of an actual club owned by an actual PGA golfer. This isn’t just some crazed Carly Rae Jepsen fan who happens to golf. Well, Rickie Fowler may be a huge Carly Rae fan for all we know, but the point is this “Call Me Maybe” golf club belongs to someone who plays golf for a living.

Fowler tweeted at Jepsen late Tuesday night to show off the 60-degree lob wedge, and I’m sure the pop star was flattered. It certainly isn’t the lamest inscription we have ever seen on a lob wedge. Rory McIlroy locked that down when he gave this club to Caroline Wozniacki as a gift last year.
