RICKIE SET THE BAR HIGH AND PARTNER LOVED IT!

RICKIE FOWLER looked a picture of contentment as he strode from the course hand-in-hand with girlfriend Allison Stokke (right) after a sizzling round of 65. The clubhouse lead clearly impressed Stokke, who has competed as a pole vaulter for many years and also carved out a career as a fitness model. It was a great way to start the US Open by American Ryder Cup star Fowler, 28, who hopes to win his first major at Erin Hills.
