Brooks Koepka Looks to Improve on Strong Memphis Record
3 years agoQuite simply, Brooks Koepka owns this tournament. In seven appearances at TPC Southwind, Koepka has four top-three finishes. Koepka succeeds at this course because he is an excellent wedge player and he pounds greens in regulation at an elite rate, ranking top-12 in this field in strokes gained approach, proximity from 125-150 yards, and greens in regulation gained over his last 36 rounds. Those metrics are not even including his sixth-place finish at the Open Championship, where he gained 9.8 strokes total on the field. The four-time major champion will be an extremely popular selection this week, and for good reason.
