Rickie Fowler Pumps Up Crowd on 16th Hole, Social Media Reacts

The Waste Management Open’s 16th hole is known as the loudest hole in golf, and Former Oklahoma State golfer Rickie Fowler certainly kept the tradition this week.

When he stepped up to the tee on No. 16, Fowler took some practice swings and pumped up the crowd, sending the spectators in the amphitheater into a frenzy. He then proceeded to land a dime on the green just feet away from the hole.

If @RickieFowler ever hosts a PGA Tour event, I imagine it'd feel a lot like the Waste Management. https://t.co/axFPFoFfma

Fowler has always been adored by Oklahoma State fans, but it’s moments like these that keep him an international crowd favorite. He added a sweet #SaltBae move after draining a long putt for birdie which was pretty amazing (more on what the #SaltBae is here).

Fowler trails leader Byeong Hun An by seven strokes going into Sunday.
