MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Brooks Koepka isn’t the type of guy who makes excuses, and even after his victory Sunday at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational he downplayed an obvious illness this week at TPC Southwind.
“It doesn't affect me hitting a golf ball,” said Koepka, who closed with a 65 for a three-stroke victory over Webb Simpson. “I don't feel good. I haven't felt good all week, but I don't want to make an excuse, I'm not trying to complain. Just get on with it. People go to work sick all the time.”
Koepka caused a stir when he arrived at TPC Southwind just 45 minutes before his final-round tee time, but he explained that wasn’t out of the ordinary.
