Rickie Fowler had the perfect response to the haters who voted him ‘most overrated’ on Tour

It’s not often you get a chance to respond with such authority and this quickly.

Rickie Fowler started the week being voted as the “most overrated” player on the PGA Tour in an anonymous poll of his peers in SI. He finished it with the biggest win of his career against a field that’s reputed as the deepest of the PGA Tour season.
