Brooks Koepka Returns to Site of First Career Victory
It felt like a special occasion with Brooks Koepka back on the tee sheet for the Farmers Insurance Open, and this week will likely feel like much of the same. The WM Phoenix Open was the site of his first career victory on the PGA Tour in 2015, and it often feels like one of the few regular events he gets amped up to play in. His return last week was more positive than many expected, as he played all four rounds to end the four days at T56. Koepka showed signs of life by ranking 11th in the field in strokes gained from tee to green (+2.02). The putter didn't cooperate, however, how much stock can we give it on unpredictable Poa annua greens? In five career appearances at TPC Scottsdale, Brooksie has managed to gain strokes with the flat stick in all of them. It's still up in the air on what kind of fantasy asset he'll be in his returning season, but this is as good a spot as any to take a chance on him this week.
