BROOKLINE, Mass. — During his press conference Tuesday morning before the start of the 122nd U.S. Open, Brooks Koepka reiterated that he lives for “tough tests” and hates when he needs to shoot “25 under just to compete.”
The U.S. Open considers itself “golf’s toughest major” and with a number of blind tee shots, thick rough and small, sloping greens, The Country Club will surely be a tough test for the 156 players to solve beginning on Thursday.
The last event Koepka played in that was not a major or WGC event was in mid-March at Innisbrook. During that time, the four-time major winner got married earlier this month and has dealt with an injury, forcing him to pull out of the Byron Nelson last month.
