Wearing matching hot pink shoes, shirt and hat, Fowler left Phil Mickelson feeling blue with a red face after a 6-and-5 drubbing Thursday at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
That was the pink part. For hot, how about five birdies and two eagles in 13 holes? It added up to a stunning victory over last year’s Masters champion in what was the tournament’s marquee pairing of the day.
Naturally, he took the usual amount of grief for that. Mickelson told him that his daughter has a pair of shoes that same color — she wears them to dance class. Fowler is used to comments about his colorful wardrobe. Asked if he had enough color combinations to last six rounds in case he makes it to the final this week, Fowler laughed and answered, “The hotel has laundry service — not a problem.” http://www.firstgolfclubs.com
