SAN DIEGO — Brooks Koepka’s vibe never suggested he cared too much about what people thought. It was simply the way he carried himself, the way he approached his professional golf career, the way he never seemed to sweat the small stuff.
But Koepka admitted Thursday after his playing his first round on the PGA Tour in nearly four years that he wondered what the reception would be like after his return from the LIV Golf League. He didn’t exactly spill emotion, but it was clear that Koepka felt some pangs of nervousness as he played the Torrey Pines South course during the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open.
