KOEPKA FACING LONG ODDS FOR ANOTHER U. S. OPEN TITLE

PEBBLE BEACH, CALIF. Brooks Koepka should already have enough motivation for this U. S. Open.

At stake is a shot at a U. S. Open record not touched in 104 years — three straight victories by Willie Anderson.

On his mind was a Fox Sports preview that Koepka interpreted as another example of him not getting the credit he deserves.

“A bunch of people on Twitter I think tagged me in it — in the promo — and I guess they were amazed that I wasn’t in it,” Koepka said Tuesday. “I just clicked on the link and watched it. Just kind of shocked. They’ve had over a year to kind of put it out. So I don’t know. Somebody probably got fired over it — or should.”

Fox had four U. S. Open promos, three of which included Koepka, one of them devoted entirely to Koepka and the history he can match. The other was entirely about Tiger Woods, the Masters champion who returns to the scene of his record 15- shot victory at Pebble Beach.
