Rickie Fowler is beginning to figure out how to be successful on the PGA Tour, and the rest of the golf world better take notice. Fowler is coming off a win at the Wells Fargo Championship and a second-place tie at The Players Championship in the last two weeks.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect him to win at Roland Garros, but that is part of the reason why it would be such an amazing feat. Nobody expects him to win, and with good reason. We must put into perspective what...
