Ricky Fowler will turn pro after

Walker Cup match in September

A former No 1 in the R&A WAGR, US amateur Ricky Fowler has decided to turn pro and is expected to make his debut on the Nationwide Tour's Soboba Classic at The Country Club at Soboba Springs in San Jacinto, California from October 1 to 4.
Fowler, an Oklahoma State University first-team two-time All-American, told The Oklahoman newspaper that he will turn pro after the Walker Cup in mid-September.
"If it wasn't for the Walker Cup, I'd probably be turning earlier," said Fowler.
Fowler is the first freshman to win the Ben Hogan Award, given to the nation's top collegiate golfer. As an amateur, he has played in four US PGA TOUR events, with his best finish a tie for 58th at the 2009 FBR Open. He has also played in two U.S. Opens.
"I don't put it past him to be No. 1 in the world one of these days," said his father, Rod Fowler. "He's got it in him and he's done it at every level, so I don't see him stopping, I don't see him being satisfied with being 20th in the world. He's got a goal in his head and we all know what that is."
