Rickie Fowler did not win on the PGA Tour this year. He did have seven top 10 finishes.Rory McIlroy had one victory, and five top 10s -- two of them, however, runner-up finishes in majors.
Fowler finished 32nd on the PGA Tour money list. McIlroy 36th. Both played in the Ryder Cup -- Fowler for the U.S. and Northern Ireland's McIlroy for Europe.
And on Saturday Fowler was named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.
You have a problem with that?
A number of people do. Among them world No. 1 Lee Westwood who went off on Twitter. We cleaned up the abbreviations to make it more readable, but even if not, Westwood's message was clear.
"Sorry 140 letters is not going to be enough for this rant!" he ranted. "Just seen Rickie Fowler has been given rookie of the year! Yes he's had a good year but Rory McIlroy third in two majors and an absolute demolition of the field at Quail Hollow! Oh yes and on the winning Ryder cup team! Please! Is this yet another case of protectionism by the PGA Tour or are they so desperate to win something! Wouldn't have something to do with Rory not joining the tour next year?"
