Rickie Fowler, like so many others on this list, is still hunting for his first 2018 win. The Hero World Challenge doesn’t count as an official Tour win, although Rickie did come out on top in that tournament. He’s come close multiple times, with two runner-up finishes (the OHL Classic and the Masters), as well as top-tens at the Sentry and the Memorial.

His scores this week have been very consistent. 11 birdies and one bogey find Fowler with back to back 65’s. All he needed heading into the week was to finish in the top 25. Currently sitting T3, he looks to be safe.

Rickie has been consistent everwhere on the course. His best shots gained stat is tee to green at 22nd. His worst is 53rd, and is actually both putting and off the tee. The two 65’s this week show the consistency. A good round by Rory, at the par 70 at Aronimink, could see Rory making a serious charge at 59.

Only three shots back of Xander Schauffele, Fowler should make a strong push this weekend. On a course where good scores are easily available, he should find himself in the featured group on Sunday.
