Golf Fans Rightfully Loved This Classy Gesture by Rickie Fowler After U.S. Open

Rickie Fowler fell short of winning the U.S. Open on Sunday, but he was still able to leave Los Angeles Country Club with a lot of positives about his game as he continues to climb up the world rankings.
He also showed everyone how classy he can be when he shared a special message for Wyndham Clark moments after he tapped in a short putt to win his first major. The two also shared a cool moment a little after the final round and thankfully, it was caught on video. This interaction after a hard-fought day on the course is what sports are all about.
