Brooks Koepka
Age: 28
Best result in 2018:
1st US Open
Best Open finish: T6 (2017)
Major wins: 2
Strengths
Along with Tiger Woods, Koepka is the freshest top player in the field. It matters not whether you thought Shinnecock Hills was a debacle – Koepka, the guy with the most energy, resilience and game, won because of his staying power. He is another who relishes windy conditions.
Weaknesses
Koepka played his formative years in Europe and has a Northern Irishman on his bag in Ricky Elliott. Distance control can be a factor, especially with downwind/headwind shots. If the wind is east-to-west or visa versa, this may be his only flaw.
