MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Pre-tournament favorite Brooks Koepka dropped out of the pro-am and canceled his news conference Wednesday at TPC Southwind, leading to some speculation about his health.
Koepka said Thursday that it was simply a maintenance day, to make sure that his body was good to go for the season’s finishing kick.
“Just making sure my body is 100%; just making sure everything is in good order,” he said at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, before adding: “Yeah, yeah, I feel good. It feels fine.”
Koepka has battled a multitude of injuries over the past few years, including a dislocated kneecap in March that required surgery and caused him to miss the run-up to the Masters.
