MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Brooks Koepka completed his opening 70 on Thursday at the FedEx St. Jude Classic and headed straight to the practice tee for an extended session.
The extra work paid off on Friday, with Koepka posting a bogey-free 65 to move to within four strokes of early leader Daniel Berger.
Although Koepka conceded his swing wasn’t perfect on Friday, it was better than Day 1.
“I felt like I actually hit the center of the club face today,” Koepka said. “Yesterday just felt out of sync, no rhythm, the timing wasn't there and I didn't really have anything, even on the greens, putter was a little bit off.
