PINEHURST, N.C. -- Rickie Fowler turned in another strong
finish in one of golfs biggest events and gained the
experience of playing in the final group of a major. He
will have to wait a little longer for his first major
title or his second PGA Tour victory. The 25-year-old
Fowler tied for second Sunday in the U.S. Open, finishing
with a 2-over 72 for a 1-under 279 total at Pinehurst No.
2. Fowler and Erik Compton ended up eight strokes behind
runaway winner Martin Kaymer, who dominated the
tournament so completely the first two days that everyone
else was playing for second. Ultimately, Fowler said, his
second top-five major finish of the year is proof hes
inching closer to some breakthrough moments -- the kind
that could eliminate the questions about whether he is
more hype than substance. "It doesnt matter what I do. Im
always going to have critics," Fowler said. "...
Obviously, theres been some great finishes, but I want to
win and I want to win more." Fowlers only tour win came
two years ago in the Wells Fargo Championship. He was two
shots back at the Masters going into the final day before
shooting 73 to tie for fifth. He has always attracted
plenty of attention with his flamboyant style, from the
knickers he wore Thursday in opening round in tribute to
late U.S. Open champion Payne Stewart to the nearly head-
to-toe orange of alma mater Oklahoma State he wore
Sunday. His game has been a work in progress with swing
coach Butch Harmon since the end of last year following
the death of former coach Barry McDonnell in 2011. While
Fowler has shown improvement, he has also missed the cut
in three of six events since the Masters. At Pinehurst
No. 2, he shot even-par 70 on Thursday and Friday then
followed with a 67 to put himself in the final group. But
he never got much momentum Sunday, with his double bogey
on the fourth hole -- he sank a long putt to avoid a
triple -- stalling him early. He also hooked a tee shot
on the 16th so badly that a man had to snatch up his
child to avoid the ball skirting along the pine needles,
though Fowler managed to save par on that hole before a
bogey on 17 helped drop him into a tie for second. "He
hit a couple of bad shots and that put him into some bad
positions, but he saved it very well," Kaymer said. "...
I was just hoping for him that he makes birdie on 18,
because I think he really deserved to finish second
here." Still, if Fowler felt disappointed with tying for
second, he did not show it Sunday evening. As Compton
talked with reporters, Fowler pulled out his cellphone
and snapped a selfie with Compton in the background as he
stood to the side waiting his turn. "Its kind of the same
way handling rounds at the U.S. Open here," Fowler said
about winning a major. "You cant get ahead of yourself,
you have to stay patient, have to stay in the moment and
keep going through the process. ... Were going to
continue to do this and keep my game progressing the
right way, and its just a matter of time."
