Rickie Fowler is among a group of players tied for second place after the first round of the Wells Fargo Championship, placing him in a situation the young PGA TOUR star has not found himself often in his career. Fowler is joined by four others at 6-under par for the tournament.
Fowler was actually tied for the lead upon the completion of his opening round, however a late-afternoon surge from Stewart Cink, Webb Simpson and Ryan Moore catapulted the trio to a tie for the lead by day's end, currently at 7-under.
While each of the leaders has a win to his credit on tour, Fowler - and others tied for second - hope to break the seal on their first career victory this week. Fowler certainly has the talent to be a multiple-time winner on the PGA TOUR, however he has routinely fallen short whenever near the top of the leaderboard.
"I wouldn't be surprised if a win is right around the corner," Fowler told reporters following a flawless round that included an eagle on Quail Hollow's par-5 seventh. "Once it does, hopefully the doors open and we'll go from there."
This is not to say Rickie hasn't won a professional tournament before. In fact, his win at the Kolon Korea Open last season came in a tournament that also featured oft-World #1 Rory McIlory.
In other news, Tiger Woods shot a 1-under 71 in his opening round. Whoop dee doo.
