Brooks Koepka Only Sure Of One Thing After A Week In Saudia Arabia: No In-Round Interviews
/
The soon-to-be-former World No. 1 as of this week, Brooks Koepka traveled to Saudi Arabia for a huge appearance fee, changed drivers, changed putters and finished T17 after a final round 72.
So while Brooks Koepka works out his bag and what to do with the Crown Prince’s cash before resurfacing at Riviera, he has no doubts about the kind of in-round chat that flustered GMac enough to put him on the clock.
From Martin Dempster’s Scotsman report:
“To be honest with you, I don’t know any other sport that does interviews in the middle of play,” said Koepka, inset, a four-time major winner, in offering his view after catapulting himself into the top ten in the $3.5 million event on the Red Sea coast with a five-under-par 65.
“I know in football you’re not doing it, unless it’s in the Pro Bowl basketball you’re not doing it unless it’s half-time. This is the only sport where you’re talking to people while they are playing. I won’t do it. I’m not interested in talking about what just happened or the difficulty of the holes ahead. I’m just focussed on one shot at a time, where my ball’s at. I understand why it might be beneficial for the fans, but I don’t get it.”
As the first world turns…
