Golfers In Olympic Opening Ceremonies; Rory Heckled By Boxers
/Rickie Fowler appears to be having no shortage of fun in Rio so far, based on this slideshow at GolfChannel.com of his best Snapchat shots.
This, despite having his stylist misunderstanding a haircut directive for which Twitter was most unkind, reports Alex Myers.
Golf favorites Henrik Stenson of Sweden and England's Justin Rose also were having a good time with Rose bagman Mark Fulchers.

Rory McIlroy's Olympic WD was noted by Irish boxer’s Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlon, who employed Caroline Wozniacki (here) and Rickie Fowler for heckling Tweets. The Fowler one uses a fun description!
