Those left home made envious by U.S. golf team

Those who chose not to attend this year’s Olympics are missing out on a lot according to Rickie Fowler. Rickie has been sending post cards from Rio and posting regularly on social media. He posted about him hanging with Michael Phelps, him holed up with the U.S diving team and him constantly smiling for the cameras around the Olympic Golf course. Rickie sent out suggestions earlier on Tuesday that pointed out that he has been in constant contact with people who missed out on golf’s return to the games after 112-year break. This was during the U.S. team’s conference. Fowler said that he had sent out messages suggesting that he was enjoying the Olympics.

Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson are among the top two Americans who withdrew their names from the Olympic list. They are known in the Official World Gold Ranking. Rickie is surely sending them signals showing them that they missed out on a lot. Rickie arrived earlier last week and was present during the opening ceremony. He has been in Brazil for the longest time when compared to other Americans. Patrick Reed replied to Fowler’s message where he said that been given the opportunity to participate and grow the game is amazing. Roy Mcllroy last month announced he would be skipping the Olympics.

He however said that he was ready to go play for his country whenever he was needed. He is glad that golf is being featured in the Olympics. Mcllroy also added that the reason he got in to golf was majorly to win in the championships. The four American players who will be participating in the week’s events were not comfortable with the golf topic but they passed a message to those participating. Most players decided to skip the Olympics because of fear of the Zika virus. However, those who managed to attend the Rio Olympics have actually had the time of their lives.

Reed was not worried about the virus saying he had been using bug spray all his life in Houston and San Antonio. He also added that he had been wishing to participate in the Olympics since he was a little boy. Kuchar was optimistic that the Olympics held this year would be a great success and that those who missed out on them would live to regret their decisions.
