This Day in Golf History: December 13

Happy 36th: On this date in 1988, Rickie Fowler was born in Murrieta, California. The six-time PGA Tour winner has been on the brink of major stardom but hasn’t broken through yet; he has finished second four times in major championships. He will play with partner Lexi Thompson this weekend in the Grant Thornton Invitational. And the International and American teams split the final-day Singles session, 6-6, on this date in 1998 but that didn’t stop the Internationals from winning the Presidents Cup, 20½–11½, at Royal Melbourne GC, which is the International team’s only victory in 13 playings.
