Brooks Koepka recalls regretful result of taunting Michael Jordan on the golf course

Everyone has a story to tell about Michael Jordan right now. The COVID-19 crisis has created a massive audience for ESPN’s “The Last Dance” documentary on the legend’s final season with the Chicago Bulls. And it’s spawning fun stories about Jordan’s competitiveness.

Brooks Koepka, a four-time major winner, shared his tale of golfing with Jordan and a lesson he took away from the encounter. Koepka told ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt on Monday’s “SportsCenter” that he and Jordan went out for a round with a few other guys in Florida. It was the second time they two had been out on the links together and Koepka held a slim advantage down the stretch.
