Rickie Fowler Headed to Olympics

Rickie Fowler took to Twitter to say he's going to the Olympics. Patrick Reed confirmed at the Scottish Open that he will join him in Rio. Now it's up to Jordan Spieth.

With one day before the deadline to submit the American team for Rio, Spieth still has not announced whether the threat of Zika and other security concerns are enough to keep him out of the Olympics.

Ty Votaw, the vice president of the International Golf Federation, said the deadline to commit for the American team is 5 p.m. at USOC headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado. That would be midnight at Royal Troon, where Spieth is playing the British Open.

Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson already has said he was going.

Fowler played at St. Andrews upon his arrival in Scotland before coming over to Troon. Golfweek magazine reported that Peter Dawson, the former R&A chief executive who is president of the IGF, walked a few holes with Fowler on Saturday at the Old Course.

Reed, No. 13 in the world, was first alternate for the Americans when Dustin Johnson withdrew on Friday because of the Zika virus. Reed had said earlier in the week he wanted to play, then said he would need to talk to his family after hearing that Johnson had pulled out.
