The four-time major champion has two good reasons to compete in the Houston Open this week: Morning reader Dan O'Neill wrote that one of them is related to the "match" at the end of the month. Was it surprised to see Brooks Koepka on the track at the Houston Open on Thursday? The British Open fans can buy British Open Tickets from our website.
After all, Koepka took part in the $34 million redesigns of the Memorial Park golf course, the championship's official residence. Along with Houston Astros owner and President Jim Crane, Koepka and respectable golf architect Tom Doak served as renovation consultants, turning this tired old dog into PGA-certified greyhounds.
There is no doubt that Koepka is proud of his contribution. He competed in the British Open opener last season, finishing fifth, second only to champion Carlos Ortiz.
Not only that. Look, there will be a little "contest" later this month. You know, in Capital One's "match," Koepka played against PGA Tour opponent Bryson DeChambeau at the Wynn Golf Club near Las Vegas. They played controversial 12 holes, raised money for charities, traded barbs with Charles Barkley, and resolved their disagreements on social media not to mention the $40 million PGA Tour player influence program. Get a piece of the pie.
With this in mind, Koepka has a very compelling reason for Koepka this week: He didn't play well. If the "match" is tomorrow, it might be DeChambeau "mopping the floor with him." Legally, there are no competitors. "You know, I hope we can get over the other side as soon as possible."
The other side is not visible at the World Wide Technical Championship held in Mayakoba. Before the weekend break, Koepka played the same rounds of 71-71 on Thursday and Friday. Note that even the par is good, but not good enough - he missed the promotion.
The dull days have added a series of regular appearances, which are below par for a player who was imprisoned and number one not long ago.
Since Koepka's best result in 7 games and about four months was tied for 6th place at the British Open in July, he is in 22nd place in the BMW Championship. This includes his 2-2 Ryder Cup performance, which is also good, but not like Koepka.
Therefore, the 31-year-old will go to Houston, currently 13th in the OWGR rankings, and keep looking for it.
"Some shots don't exist at all, but stability doesn't exist. I don't think I played as badly as I did. It's not what I'm used to seeing, I think it's a good way of expressing it."
Koepka often says that the major is his focus. He said more than once that before prom he focused only on his game. But recovering from injuries has always been part of this approach, or lack thereof. His withdrawal from the Tour Championship due to a wrist injury in early September is a good example of this.
