Ride 'Em Cowboys
The star of the Zozo Championship so far is the Rickie Fowler superfan who dressed up as Oklahoma State's Pistol Pete
Halloween is just a week away. Across the world, revellers are scrambling to pick their costumes. Do you go as sexy Beetlejuice or the viral Olympic breakdancer lady? It’s a tough call, but Japan’s leading Rickie Fowler superfan has no such concerns. He already has his costume locked in and he debuted it at the Zozo Championship on Thursday, much to the glee of golf fans everywhere. Behold.
Narashino Country Club is nearly 6,000 miles from Fowler’s Stillwater alma mater, but this straight shooter nailed the Cowboys' swagger better than most self-identifying Okies. Sure, dressing up in full Rickie Fowler orange is typically reserved for 12-year-olds here in the States, but we’re not going to be the ones to burst his bubble.
Thanks to this endearing maniac, Fowler must have felt right at home. firing a two-under 68 on Thursday to say within striking distance of first-round leader Taylor Moore. Needless to say, if it turns into a shootout this weekend, Fowler’s biggest fan will be ready.
