[Golf Topic] Fowler: "Did I really shoot 94 with my left hand?" View original image


[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○..."94 strokes with the left hand."


On the 20th (Korean time), the US Golf Channel introduced the story that "World No. 27 Rickie Fowler (photo) defeated No. 4 Justin Thomas." Of course, it was in a friendly game. The interesting part is that they competed using only their left hands. Thomas was completely defeated with 101 strokes. The two players recently played golf at the Michael Jordan Course in Harbour Sound, Florida, after the PGA Tour was suspended due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the US.



They are close friends who often hang out together and neighbors. To practice "social distancing," they played a round just the two of them. Thomas led with 44 strokes in the front nine against Fowler's 49, but in the back nine, after a series of quadruple bogeys and other struggles, he collapsed with 57 strokes and was overtaken. Even the world star seemed to find "left-hand play" challenging. Fowler posted the results and video of this match, which he named the "Left-Hand Championship," on social media (SNS).
