PGA star Rickie Fowler is off the market.
So is viral pole vault star turned fitness model Allison Stokke, for that matter.
Fowler popped the question to Stokke on a beach Friday, with fellow pro Justin Thomas there to document the moment (she said yes, by the way.)
“Today is National Best Friend Day so I wanted to lock mine down…I WON!!,” an Instagram post by Fowler read, showing a photo of Fowler on bended knee in front of Stokke.
Stokke, then 17, was an unwitting internet phenomenon in 2007 when photos of her at a high school track meet were published online to a salacious response. The photographer who took the photos sought to have them taken down, but they had been widely disseminated already.
She continued competing through college and, later, in national events, but began fitness modeling for Nike and other apparel companies in 2015.
Thomas and Fowler are both scheduled to play in next week’s U.S. Open.
