LOS ANGELES — It’s a question quite a few golf fans were asking.
What’s up with Rickie Fowler carrying around that water bottle?
During the 2023 U.S. Open, Fowler has been seen hauling around a large metal water bottle, covered in stickers.
Most golfers tend to just grab a nearby plastic water bottle for hydration but Fowler likes his metal one.
“I started carrying it at the beginning of this year,” he said when asked after his third round Saturday. Then he explained having it makes for a good reminder. “I drink more if I’m carrying it, and it’s also heavy when it’s full, so I don’t want to necessarily throw that on Rick, my caddie, to tote that thing around.”
He then added: “The real reason is I drink more water and electrolytes when I carry it.”
And as many people tend to do, Fowler also has several stickers on his.
“I have a few different stickers on there, friends of friends or connections in one way,” he said. As for his favorite? “There’s a little lightbulb logo, it’s kind of a cool logo for kind of a cool brewery in St. Louis called Side Project.”
Here’s guessing Side Project picked up some Google search traffic over the last 12 hours.
