RIO DE JANEIRO -- Rickie Fowler isnt showing much of a game at the Olympics. He plans to give himself an additional chance to impress Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III by playing next week in the Wyndham Championship.Fowler let another good round get away Friday at Olympic Golf Course with three straight bogeys on the back nine that made him settle for a 71. He was tied for 50th in the 60-man field, 14 shots out of the lead with two rounds to play.Asked if he was going to play on the PGA Tour next week, Fowler held up his hand and pulled out his phone. Before a small group of reporters, he put on Twitter, See you guys next week at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina.The top nine players automatically qualify for the Ryder Cup team in two weeks after The Barclays. Fowler has slipped to No. 12, and while Love gets four captains picks, the three guys ahead of him are Matt Kuchar, Brandt Snedeker and Bubba Watson.Fowler said he had planned after the PGA Championship, where he tied for 33rd, to play the Wyndham, even if he had won the gold medal.Main reason, obviously it would be nice to get some more FedEx Cup points, said Fowler, who is No. 29 on that list. But my commitment to the Ryder Cup and wanting to be a part of that team ... the Ryder Cup and the experiences Ive had there, its the best team event there is in golf. I dont want to be left off that team, so I want to go there and try and get myself some points.Fowler is No. 8 in the world ranking and didnt imagine being in this position at the start of the year.He won in Abu Dhabi against the strongest field on the European Tour, and then appeared to have the Phoenix Open won until he gave up a two-shot lead with two holes to play and lost to Hideki Matsuyama in a playoff.Fowler missed the cut in the Masters, U.S. Open and The Players Championship, and he finished out of the top 30 in the other two majors, worth double points.He was the first PGA Tour rookie to be picked for the Ryder Cup in 2010, and he played in the 2014 matches at Gleneagles. But he hasnt shown enough form to be considered a lock to be a pick if he doesnt make the team.I dont want to assume anything, Fowler said. I would want Davis to pick me because he thinks I deserve a pick. I want to go and play well and earn some points. Yeah, I dont want him to think Im just assuming Im getting a pick, and Im not assuming that Im getting one, either. I want to go earn my spot.Fowler has not won a match in his two Ryder Cup appearances, going 0-1-2 at Wales and 0-2-3 at Gleneagles. He has yet to play a Ryder Cup on home soil. The matches this year start Sept. 30 at Hazeltine in Minnesota.

Lets keep this between ourselves for now, but the Wimbledon Diary thinks it might have done just that.So far during The Championships, Federer has been successful with just 12.5 percent of his Hawk-Eye challenges, with just one correct query from the eight times he has called upon the technology. Contrast with his quarterfinal opponent, Croatias Marin Cilic, who has a hit-rate of 61.5 percent during the tournament to date, with eight correct challenges from 13 attempts. Of the eight men left in the singles draw, only one has a lower percentage than Federer -- thats Frenchman Lucas Pouille, who was wrong with all six of his, so is lingering on zero.In Novak Djokovics absence, Andy Murray is the highest seed left in the tournament, but he could also do some work on this part of his game -- he has been successful with 23.1 per cent of his challenges, with three from 13. The overall average for the mens singles so far is 30 percent, with the same number in the womens event, too.Golden Bear spotted in SW19Jack Nicklaus, who has been in the Royal Box for the past couple of days, is more than just a tennis fan. The golfer, who won 18 majors, has previously played some small part in tennis history --- the Williams sisters have been known to practice in the grounds of his Florida home.dddddddddddd Nicklaus has three grass courts in his back garden.Serena aces the numbers gameAside from 22, which is how many Grand Slams Serena Williams will have if she lifts the Venus Rosewater Dish on Saturday, theres one number that fascinates her coach Patrick Mouratoglou. That number is 102, which is how many aces Williams served during the 2012 Championships. That was the first Grand Slam that we won together and she served at a higher level than I think anyone in the history of the sport, the Frenchman told the Wimbledon Diary. She served more aces in that tournament than any woman or man -- and you have to remember that the men would have been playing over five sets. Thats crazy. Her serve is just a huge weapon on grass.Passing the Wimbledon smell testUsed tennis balls can be bought from a kiosk outside Centre Court. No doubt a few tennis fans will be sniffing the Slazenger balls before using them at their local courts. Thats inspired by Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova, a quarterfinalist in the womens singles, who successfully identified a ball from each of the four Grand Slams on smell alone. ' ' '
