Brooks Koepka Hoping Good Vibes Travel to Year's Second Major
It was a joyful week in Myrtle Beach that saw Brooks Koepka fire a 64 in the third round, ultimately finishing T11. In terms of statistics, it was about as poor a finish as a player who led the field in strokes gained from tee to green could have. The one thing that held him back was the flat stick, as he lost over two strokes over the four days. It's a weird place for the five-time major champion to be heading to a place like Aronimink, where his tour-leading strokes gained on approach (0.983) metric is a wonderful quality to have. But he's been a real liability on the greens, which is perhaps the biggest area of importance this week. Koepka should do enough to play all four days in Philadelphia, but how far he can climb up the leaderboard will be left up to one area of his game that has been untrustworthy. Play the 36-year-old with caution.
