It's hard to believe it's been ten years since Fowler's thrilling playoff victory at the Wells Fargo Championship. At Quail Hollow Golf Club, the youthful phenom with floppy hair and fluorescent orange from head to toe beat Rory McIlroy and D.A. Points, despite being only 23 years old at the time. The floodgates appeared to have opened for the 2010 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, as high expectations were finally met — except they weren't.

Between 1999 and 2011, the New Zealander caddied for Woods throughout his most successful stretch, when the American won 13 of his 15 Majors. Despite the fact that another American, Phil Mickelson, was winning the most of his Majors at the same time, Williams said Woods didn't consider Lefty to be his main competitor...

“There are 26 windows that need to be replaced. The entire siding of the home has to be replaced,” the family's attorney, Robert Galvin, noted.

Phil Mickelson is still in his self-imposed penalty box, while his agent Steve Loy said on Monday that Mickelson could well be close to returning.
