Rickie Fowler finds momentum – and meaning – at 3M Open

He opened with a bogey-free, 6-under 65 at TPC Twin Cities, his first start since 2022 and third overall in the event. He finished five strokes back of the early leader Adam Svensson, who sank an eagle putt on the final hole to post an 11-under 60 and set a new course record. Over the past six weeks, Fowler has quietly pieced together flashes of form: T14 in last week’s Open Championship, T18 at the John Deere Classic, T7 at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday in June.
