Koepka to take part in Ryder Cup
Four-time major winner Brooks Koepka confirmed his participation in next week’s Ryder Cup, after his commitment to the competition was called into question.
In an interview with Golf Digest this week, Koepka described the biennial team event between the United States and Europe as “a bit odd” and mentally challenging, saying that he might not be cut out for team sports.
The 31-year-old’s comments were criticised by former USA captain Paul Azinger, who suggested Koepka withdraw from the event if he does not want to be there. However, Koepka said he will be ready to tee it up at Whistling Straits next week and has been in touch with US captain Steve Stricker as he resumed practising.
