Brooks Koepka announced Wednesday that he has withdrawn from next week’s U.S. Open.
Koepka hasn’t played since he missed the cut at the Wyndham Championship on Aug. 14. Slated to play The Northern Trust – his seventh consecutive start – he pulled out on the eve of the tournament, citing lingering injuries to his knee and hip.
Koepka underwent a stem-cell procedure on his left knee last fall and missed the final few months of 2019 after a setback. Though he didn’t play to his lofty standards this year, recording just two top-25s in 13 starts, he didn’t necessarily blame his performance on his achy left knee.
