Rickie Fowler shot an opening 64 at the Shell Houston Open on Thursday morning. But throwing out an opening pitch on Thursday night is the real test.

Fowler is set to throw out the first pitch at the Houston Astros game -- something he says brings him "close to Ryder Cup nerves." Here's his explanation:
