The internet believes a higher power was at work during Rickie Fowler’s opening round – the power of love.

Rickie Fowler shot an opening round 65 at Erin Hills – the best ever opening major round to par – and people started to believe it was all down to his new girlfriend, Allison Stokke.

Just in case you missed his opening round:

#RickFoundAChick was the hashtag that emerged on Twitter and it looks like there may just be something behind it:

After what felt like an eternity some golf was ACTUALLY played on Thursday. Here is how some of the field reacted to their first look at the Erin Hills course:

Oh, and in case you were under a rock or something a blimp crashed near the Erin Hills course. Yes, you read that right.

Don’t believe me? Take a look:
