Robbie Fowler’s Agonizing Near-Miss at $10M Golf Challenge in Star-Studded Bangkok Event
Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler narrowly missed out on winning the “$10m Swing” – golf’s richest hole – during the Reignwood Icons of Football Golf Tournament in Bangkok. The event, packed with football icons like John Terry, Luis Figo, and Carlos Tevez, saw Team England and Team World battle for charity.
Fowler’s Thrilling Attempt
Fowler, representing Team England under captain Lee Westwood, nearly aced a 170-yard shot for the $10 million prize. His ball landed inches from the cup, sparking cheers and playful jabs from teammates. “I was bottling it,” Fowler admitted. “Paul Ince had already spent the money!” Tevez and Gabriel Batistuta praised Fowler’s effort, which included a portion for charity.
