Brooks Koepka, who says it is ’embarrassing’ to be ranked 20th in the world, opens with 66 at WM Phoenix Open

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Embarrassing.

That’s the word four-time major champion and former World No. 1 Brooks Koepka used to describe entering the week ranked No. 20 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

“I mean, that’s embarrassing to be 20th, I feel like,” said Koepka, who is winless since last year’s WM Phoenix Open. “A lot of it has to do with injury, man. I’ve been hurt, on the sidelines, not playing, playing through injury, you can’t compete with guys out here. It’s nice to be somewhat healthy and get out here and I mean I’m not too worried about it, it will bounce back up.”
