When Team USA won the Ryder Cup in 2016 at Hazeltine Golf Club, there was one iconic photo from the team's celebration.

It was a picture of the entire team, with each member next to his spouse or girlfriend, each duo lip-locked in celebration of a Ryder Cup triumph.

All but Rickie Fowler, that is.

Fowler didn't have a significant other in 2016. And in the picture, Fowler is the only player on his own — and was left making a face that no golf fan can forget.

But since then, Fowler's life has changed. He's now engaged to Allison Stokke.

And he's thrilled to not be the (twenty) third wheel on the team this go around.

Team USA faces off with Team Europe starting Friday in France, looking to win the Ryder Cup on European soil for the first time since 1993.
