KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Looks like Rickie Fowler is getting into the Olympic spirit.
During some downtime this week on Kiawah Island, Fowler performed some risky jumps into the pool of a rental villa. The videos were posted on Bubba Watson’s Twitter account (@bubbawatson).
Debate the silliness of these stunts if you wish. Should Fowler have leapt from the balcony of his villa a few days before the final major of the year? Well, perhaps not. Should he have performed a backflip near the edge of the pool, where he very easily could have cracked open his skull? Eh, maybe a cannonball would have sufficed.
Still, the dives ranked high in both difficulty and execution.
This judge’s score? A 9.12.
