MEDINAH, Ill. — Brooks Koepka wasn’t comfortable.

He wasn’t comfortable last week at Liberty National, where he tied for 30th, and he wasn’t comfortable for his first 11 holes Thursday at the BMW Championship.

“It’s kind of been the same story for a week now,” he said. “Last week same thing, I just didn’t feel comfortable over the ball.”

Koepka was 1 over par on his day coming off back-to-back bogeys at 10 and 11. And then, all of a sudden, a tiny tweak changed everything.

“Made a little adjustment and finally felt like I could shape the ball the way I wanted to, felt comfortable.
