Young guns looking to ramble in golf world

Fowler is the greatest imponderable. Having turned professional in 2009, Fowler managed to secure “Rookie of the Year” honours on the US Tour last year despite not winning a tournament.“Steek” did, however, manage to claim seven top-10 finishes on tour and, despite his failure to win any title anywhere, he has risen to 32nd in the world.“To have Tiger May Still Deny His Private Life a chance to play my first Masters, it is something I dreamed of as a little kid,” said Fowler, who, at 22, is the old man of the trio. “I’m playing well right now. I feel like I go in with high expectations. I feel there’s a chance that we could be walking up 18 in contention and that’s something I have dreamed about.“My game feels really good and I feel like when you’re driving the ball well and putting yourself in position to make birdies, you can make any course suit your game.”Sound like the innocence of youth? Or just sheer exuberance?Ishikawa’s previous Masters appearances have been something of an education for the 19-year-old Japanese player. Two appearances, two missed cuts. It’s unlikely to be a case of third time lucky, either.But Ishikawa comes into the tournament with a higher cause: to provide some solace to a country devastated by the recent earthquake. “I would like to emphasise the power and energy that sport can create for those people to encourage them. And it is my intention to play really well. That will be the best way to encourage people in Japan.”
