“It’s gonna happen soon” – Rickie Fowler opens up on the pressure as he chases his first PGA Tour win since 2019 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic 2023

Since the beginning of 2023, Rickie Fowler has been attempting to end his four-year winless streak. In recent competitions, he has played pretty well.

Fowler has been in excellent form and only missed the cut at the PGA Championship in 2023. He entered the star-studded field of the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, which is taking place from June 29 to July 2 at Detroit Golf Club.

After the Saturday round of the tournament, the American golfer was in first place. He overcame Adam Hadwin by one stroke and has been looking forward to expanding his lead in the final round and winning the competition.

Rickie Fowler is optimistic about his game and keeping himself calm ahead of the final round.

In a conversation with the media on Saturday, he said:

"Whether it happens tomorrow or not, it's going to happen here soon. I am not pressing that, hey, I need to go get it done tomorrow or it means absolutely nothing. I've been playing a lot of really good golf. I've been putting myself in good positions."

He added:

"This definitely won't be the last, but yeah, it will be fun tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how the weather cooperates or not. Like I said, I'm going to have to play well regardless, there's plenty of guys behind me so it's not going to be given to anyone."

Rickie Fowler will tee off the fourth round at 8:55 am ET alongside Adam Hadwin and Taylor Pendrith on the first hole.
