Carlsbad, CA – March 18, 2010 – The Carlsbad-based leader in magnetic/negative-ionic sportswear, Colantotte International Inc. dba Trion:Z and PGA Tour Pro Rickie Fowler announced today the signing of a multi-year contract making him the 4th PGA pro to sign in 2010.
A California native, Fowler excelled in golf while attending Oklahoma State University. He posted his first victory at The Fighting Illini Invitational hosted by the University of Illinois on October 1, 2007. He won that tournament by one stroke, shooting a 203. While in College, Fowler was selected to two consecutive US Walker Cup Teams, and was a 2-Time All American and won The Ben Hogan Award in 2007 as a freshman. This made him the only other person besides Phil Michelson to earn the award that early. Fowler completed his first year at college with the Phil Michelson Award as the nation’s top freshman.
For 36 weeks in 2007 and 2008, Rickie was the number one ranked amateur golfer in the world. Fowler was not always a golfer, he was a motocross racer. At age 14 he traded in his dirt bike for a golf cart and has not looked back since. Rickie Fowler became the first player in history to be the NCAA’s Player of the Year as a freshman and one of the fastest to have a shot at his PGA Tour card. In 2009, Fowler had his best finish with a tie for 2nd place while at the Frys.com Open. He followed with two top 10 finishes in 2009.
2010 will mark Rickie Fowler’s first full season as a PGA Tour Rookie. Now 21, Fowler has a top 5 finish in his first 3 starts making a grand entrance into his Professional PGA Tour Career. “With just a few PGA Tour starts under his belt, Rickie Fowler is looking like a force to be reckoned with,” Coleman Scott, Trion:Z Territory Sales Manager. Fowler is edgy and non-traditional and is always seen wearing his signature belt buckles. Fowler joins the Trion:Z team which includes LPGA Tour icon Brittany Lincicome, Ireland native Rory McIlroy and Japanese golf prodigy Ryo Ishikawa. This year should be exciting for Fowler as he attempts to climb the Official World Golf Ranking ladder.
