Open Championship Diary: Koepka reminisces on rookie European adventures

Brooks Koepka may have collected more than €1.8m for his US Open victory at Shinnecock Hills a month ago but the world number four revealed yesterday that he had more fun winning playing in Scotland as a rookie professional on the European Challenge Tour.

The 28-year-old from Florida became the first back-to-back US Open winner since Curtis Strange in 1988 and 89 when he repeated his Erin Hills win of the previous year, his maiden major victory.
