NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Since returning to the PGA Tour in January after a surprising decision to part ways with LIV Golf late last year, Brooks Koepka has maintained a level-headedness about his time on the upstart circuit, pointing to personal family issues among his reasons for leaving.
The five-time major champion, who has won the PGA Championship three times, maintained that stance on Thursday following the first round at Aronimink Golf Club, where a 1-under-par 69 had him just two shots from the top spot on a crowded leaderboard.
