But tonight, he has the opportunity to put an abrupt end to his poor form. He has a two-shot lead with 18 holes to play of the CJ Cup in Las Vegas.

After a superb score of 63 on Saturday at The Summit Club, he moved on to 21-under-par with Rory McIlroy in second place. It could be Fowler's first win in two years.

The 32-year-old has been undergoing significant changes in his home life. He and his wife Allison Stokke are expecting their first baby daughter in the near future.

Stokke was born in Newport Beach, California, into a competitive, athletic family. Her brother David was a gymnast at the national youth level but she opted for the track and field route.

In 2004, Stokke recorded an incredible pole vault height of 3.86 metres, which broke the American record for high school freshmen in what was her first year competing in athletics.

Her vault was the best ever recorded by a 15-year-old and at the end of her freshman year, she went on to win the CIF California State Championship. She was starting to catch the eye as a massively talented athlete.

As a sophomore, she jumped another personal best of 4.11 metres. This mark set a new high school sophomore record and the American record for 16-year-olds.

Stokke suffered a significant injury setback, but the pole-vaulting sensation returned to win another championship at the CIF California State meeting in her senior year of high school.

But, in 2007, Stokke became an unwanted internet phenomenon when a seemingly normal photo of her was taken at a competition in New York and picked up by a blog that was known for objectifying women.

Stokke had only just turned 18 at the time, so this was an extremely unsettling period and it was controversy created through no fault of her own.

The talented athlete got through this distasteful time to attend the University of California, Berkeley, where she broke the school's freshman record with a brilliant vault of 4.11 metres.

After trying and unfortunately failing to qualify for the Olympics games in 2012, the 32-year-old became a sportswear model and began a career in performance marketing.

Stokke and Fowler began seeing each other in 2017. They got married in 2019 and in June, they announced that they were expecting their first child together.

Welp, it's officially #PerspectiveSZN for Rickie Fowler.

On Monday, one day after Father's Day, Fowler announced that his wife, Allison Stokke, is pregnant, making him a dad-to-be. Both he and Stokke announced the news via their Instagram accounts.

"Reservation for November... Fowler party of 3 #GirlDad," wrote Fowler on Instagram, revealing the month the baby is due as well as the gender. "Coming in November @rickiefowler might find himself a little outnumbered," Stokke wrote.

The news comes less than 24 hours after Jon Rahm, a new father himself, claimed his first major title at the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. After holing what turned out to be the eventual winning putt on the 72nd green, Rahm immediately grabbed his baby son Kepa from wife Kelley, walking off with a huge smile on his face as he held him. The "Jon Rahm has new perspective on life because he's a dad now" story line was officially complete.

Fowler hopes to experience a similar moment some day soon, and it will no doubt become a big story line in his immediate future as he looks to get his career back on track. He did not play in this past week's U.S. Open, as he failed to qualify, but he will be back in action this week at the Travelers Championship, where the vibes will no doubt be very good for the 32-year-old.

More importantly, congrats to the happy couple is in order. They first announced their relationship in April of 2017, and just over a year later Fowler proposed to her during U.S. Open week at Shinnecock. In October 2019, they were married, and now less than two years later they are having their first child. Time has flown for the once-famously single Fowler. Here's hoping there are many more good things to come for he and Stokke, both on and off the course.

It seems like only yesterday that Rickie Fowler was a kid himself, adored by other kids who aspired to be just like him. Now he has a kid of his own.

On Thanksgiving day, Fowler, 32, and his wife Allison Stokke, 32, announced the birth of their daughter Maya, who was born on Nov. 18.

“Happy Thanksgiving everyone!” Fowler wrote on Instagram. “As you can see Allison & I are beyond thankful…a whole new meaning to life!! Maya Fowler born 11/18/21 My heart is full!”

In her own post, Stokke wrote, “Maya Fowler … couldn’t be more thankful!! Happy Thanksgiving.”

A number of players immediately congratulated the couple, who announced the pregnancy in June. They included Max Homa, Lee Westwood and Luke Donald—the latter writing, “Welcome to #girldad life Rickie.”

Golf's Young Guns have gone from bro-ish yacht vacations to potentially sharing playground swings. Only a week ago, Jordan Spieth and his wife, Annie, announced the birth of their first child, a boy named Sammy, who was born on Nov. 14.

Fowler and Stokke, a former track and field athlete and fitness model, first announced their relationship in 2017, and in 2018 Fowler proposed marriage during U.S. Open week at Shinnecock Hills. They wed in October 2019.

Rickie Fowler is one of the most well-known golfers in the world, but he's not even close to being the best athlete in his house. No, that title belongs to former collegiate Pole and professional pole vaulter Allison Stokke.

She grew up in Newport Beach, California in a sports-dominant household. Her brother was a national youth gymnast, a sport that she participated in as well. Following her stint in gymnastics, Stokke eventually found the sport that would make her famous: pole vaulting.

After picking up the sport, she quickly became one of the best high school pole vaulters in the country. Stokke eventually won the 15/16 age group at the United States national meet in 2004 with an impressive vault. However, that wasn't what drew her into the public eye - at least not nationally.

Despite being one of the best high school athletes in the country, headlines were rarely about what she achieved in the sport of track and field.

Viral Photo That Brought Allison Stokke Into National Spotlight:

Allison burst onto the scene in unfortunate circumstances as blogs focused on her good looks rather than her prowess on the track. And this all happened when she was just 17 years old. Competing at a high school meet in California in 2007, a photographer snapped a picture of Stokke preparing for her event. The photographer placed the photo on the state's track and field website and could not have guessed what would come next. A blog, named With Leather at the time but changed to Uproxx, posted the photo on its website along with the caption: "Meet pole vaulter Allison Stokke... Hubba hubba and other grunting sounds." The photo quickly went viral, before people even know what viral content was online. It eventually took over Stokke's life, with modeling agencies and media companies trying to get a piece. She spoke about the challenges she faced in dealing with that kind of fame at such a young age. "I feel like me and that picture are two different people," Stokke said to ESPN in 2016. "I feel it has taken on a life of its own. It's like that picture is my alter-ego and sometimes I feel like I use it for a positive force, and sometimes I just choose to leave it out there and not engage with it." "In the months after the picture went viral, photographers would kneel beneath her at meets, shooting upward as she stood on the runway before an attempt," ESPN noted. "Grown men would send postcards, with handwritten notes, to her home in California -- some of the sentiments were kind; some were not." The attention continued with more photographers showing up at the rest of her high school meets before she eventually left for college.

Where Did Allison Stokke Go To College?

Allison Stokke eventually took her pole vaulting prowess to the University of California, where she earned an athletic scholarship. She made an immediate impact on the team, breaking the school record for a freshman athlete both indoors and outdoors with one of her vaults. Even then, though, the viral photo followed her to college. "When Stokke vaulted at Cal, the school removed her headshot from its website because men would constantly request a signed copy," ESPN said in its piece. In fact, Cal still doesn't have a photo of her on her athletic profile from the school. However, the page does list her numerous accomplishments while competing in the Pac-10. Stokke continued to build on an impressive freshman season by qualifying for the NCAA Women's Division I Track and Field Championships where she finished 19th in the country. After struggling during her junior season - at least by her lofty standards - Stokke broke through during the Indoor season of her senior year. She earned All-American status after placing eighth at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

What Did Allison Stokke Do After College?

Allison Stokke attempted to keep her pole vaulting career going with the ultimate goal of competing in the 2012 Olympics. She posted a new lifetime best vault after leaving college, but couldn't maintain that momentum. Stokke did not make the cut for the United States Track and Field team, falling just short of the qualifying mark. She continued to compete, but her performances declined following her run at trying to make the Olympics. She eventually stopped competing and paired with several athletics companies like Nike, Athleta and Uniqlo as a sponsored athlete.

When Did Allison Stokke Start Dating Rickie Fowler?

Details of how Allison Stokke and PGA star Rickie Fowler met are still unclear - at least there's a little mystery left in their lives. The couple first made things public with a photo in April 2017 from the Moto GP race they attended in Texas. "We tied?" she said in the caption of the post nearly four years ago.

Their relationship developed rather quickly after that, with Fowler popping the question just over a year later.

"Rickie, Justin Thomas, and I flew up to Southampton a few days early for the U.S. Open," Stokke told Vogue. "At the end of the day, we were the only people on one of the beaches, and Rickie asked Justin to take a picture of us. After a couple of photos, I looked over and Rickie was down on one knee with a big smile on his face."

The couple married on October 5, 2019.

Stokke and Fowler are one of the sporting world's favorite couples. Both found success in their respective sports - with Fowler holding the No. 66 ranking in the world right now.

Allison Stokke might not be pole vaulting any more, but she still has a massive following on social media. She has over 600,000 followers in Instagram - where she often posts photos of she and Rickie Fowler and advertised posts.
