After a bogey on No. 17, Fowler missed the green on No. 18, but hit his chip shot to two feet and converted the par putt to earn a spot in the year's final major. “This week still could have been a lot better, but definite positive is going over to Portrush. That's one I've wanted on the schedule. I had a great time when we were there the last (time) and had a decent showing as well,” Fowler, who was playing on a sponsor's exemption, said.
The star golfer was joined by his wife, Allison, who doesn't make many public appearances as she stays out of the spotlight. She and the couple's two children were waiting for Fowler after his round to congratulate him on making the Open Championship field.
