It was fitting that Rickie Fowler rallied to win the Hero World Challenge on Sunday. Tiger Woods has often mentioned Fowler's name among youngsters, who have encouraged and practiced with him to make a strong comeback. So it was just right that Fowler won Wood's cherished event. On Sunday, when golf fans would have loved a golfer in red, stride the 18th fairway to complete a win, they were served with an equally pleasing sight of a younger man clad in his trademark flaming orange blaze the Albany golf course with eight birdies, seven on the first seven holes, en route to a record 11-under 61.
