Brooks Koepka

Age 28

State Florida

World ranking 3 Average drive 313 yards Driving accuracy 56.3% GIR 68.3%

Avg putts per round 28.7 Koepka is now a phenomenal player.

To win one major is a nice accomplish­ment – after all, over 70 per cent of all majors after 2000 have been won by “one-anddone” golfers, but to win three in this era is incredible. Koepka will be looked upon by the rest of his team as a key points accumulato­r and he will relish that responsibi­lity.

Strengths A physically intimidati­ng man, Koepka will be keen to assert himself against the Europeans. Playing most of his formative years on both the Challenge and main European Tour will make the transition from Atlanta to Paris pretty straightfo­rward for him.

Weaknesses If he stays fit and is paired well, there are no standout weaknesses.
