PUMA athlete Rickie Fowler is showing he can play with the big boys. He fired a stellar 7-under 64 in the second round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open for a two-day total 11-under. This is his first PGA Tour event as a professional.
The talented 20-year-old got off to a fast start, racking up 5 birdies and an eagle on his first nine. After his round he told the Golf Channel:
I got out to a little better start on the back nine, my first nine, and turned at 30, which helped out quite a bit. From there, I had to scrape around a bit…I try not to think about expectations. I just go out on the course and do my thing and it’s been working out the past two days and hopefully I’ll have a good weekend.
Going into the final 36 holes, he’s T5. Looking good, Rickie (in those white pants, too). We’ll be rooting for you.
In the upcoming months, Rickie will be giving us a behind-the-scenes look into his life on the road — both on and off the course — as a professional golfer. Stay tuned!
Congratulations to PUMA athlete Anna Nordqvist for her brilliant play at the LET Madrid Ladies Masters tournament!
Anna shot a three-day total of 16-under. Her stellar final round 10-under 63 (her career low round) got her into a playoff with Azahara Munoz. Unfortunately, in the first extra hole, Munoz made an eagle for the win. Still, a great performance by Anna. Her finish moves her to 12th in the World Golf Rankings.
The 22-year-old Swede is a rookie on the LPGA and has made 12 cuts in as many starts. She’s placed in the top 10 three times, and only six months into the season she won a major, the LPGA Championship. Not too shabby! In August she made her debut as a member of the European Solheim Cup Team — which she says is the highlight of her fantastic season — her record was 2-2-0.
Go HERE to check out a recent interview the LET did with Anna.
Our buddy Stephanie Wei from Wei Under Par is back and this time-in color too!
“I caught up with PUMA athlete and LPGA rookie Jeehae Lee, at the Sybase Classic in Clifton, New Jersey. Jeehae chats with me about various topics, such as her fantasy foursome, Twitter, and of course, the hot PUMA gear she sports on Tour.”
When we talk about PUMA Golf being fun, inclusive, colorful and stylish, we might as well be writing a personality profile about PUMA Athlete Johan Edfors. Get to know our favorite Swede in this interview with Golf Punk Magazine.
We’re all gearing up to watch Geoff play in the Quail Hollow Championship in North Carolina this weekend. We’re keeping up with today’s Pro Am via Twitter-ah technology, making it even easier to combine work and golf.
Geoff spent the day yesterday at the Opening of the International Institute of Golf at The Cliffs at Keowee Springs.
He chatted with the crowd
signed autographs
played (duh)
Got chummy with fellow Aussies Mathew Goggin and Stuart Appleby
There is definitely something about a well dressed man. PUMA Athlete Geoff Ogilvy is looking sharp today in Augusta sporting a preview outfit from our Special Edition Black and White Collection, available this June at select retailers. And did we mention the shoes? Keep watching this space and we’ll tell you when you too can be this cool.
You know that feeling you used to get as a kid on Christmas Eve? Where you were so excited you could hardly sleep but you did it anyway so Santa could come?
Well that’s how we feel right now at PUMA Golf. The Masters Tournament begins on Thursday so our DVR’s are set and we’ve got a browser window permanently linked here so we don’t miss a bit of the pre-tourney action.
Mostly though, we are thrilled down to our Smart Quills to cheer on PUMA Athletes Geoff Ogilvy and Soren Kjeldsen. See Ogilvy tee off with Group 13 at 10:23 a.m. EST and Kjeldsen in Group 23 at 12:24 p.s. EST on Thursday, April 9.
