While many of golf’s elite are taking this week off, Koepka is using the tournament at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, Texas to fine-tune his game after nearly a month off. “I’m not so concerned with the little things, you know, like making bogey from a hundred yards or maybe not getting up and down, going for par-5s, not getting up and down. Mainly just how am I hitting it?”
“I thought I played reasonably well. I was pretty happy with how I played. But obviously I made a lot of mistakes. I made two double-bogeys. It’s tough to win if you’re going to do that, especially at Augusta,” he said.
