Brooks Koepka

“A lot of golfers take the club back with almost no upper-body rotation - they're all arms. And even when they do rotate back, it's usually on a flat shoulder plane. If your shoulders turn back fairly level with the ground, it's hard to swing down from inside the target line and hit an accurate shot.”

“Anytime you can get some congratulatory - anything said or the guys waiting around the green - that's always nice. You're out here so many weeks a year, and sometimes away from your family, and the tour kind of becomes your family. So when you have these guys hanging around, it's special.”

“You tell me I can't do something, I'm going to do it.”

“I see the young guys coming out of college. They are bombing it past me. They hit it so far, they are leaving me in the dust.”

“You've got guys who will kiss up, and I'm not gonna kiss up. I don't need to kiss anyone's butt. I'm here to play golf.”

“I enjoy hard golf courses.”

“I get in that zone, even if I'm relaxing or whatever, where I just zone out. I don't even hear anybody. You could ask me a question five times, and I don't even hear it.”

“It's pretty obvious when Tiger makes a birdie. I think everybody at the golf course cheers for him.”

“I learned how to play golf over in Europe; I learned how to manage being on the road.”

“You're always going to have fans, and you're always going to have people that hate you. The people around me, they know who I am, and that's really all I care about.”

“If I can stay healthy and actually show up to a major, I feel like I've got a good chance.”

“Sometimes your haters are your biggest motivators.”

“I'm just focused on me.”

“I like to lay low. I like to hang back. I like to be the person that's not really recognized.”

“St. Andrews is my favorite place to play golf. I've said it many times. I love the design. I love how there is always a bunker in play. And every time you play, it is always a little bit different. There are so many angles out there. It is beautifully designed. And so much fun to play.”

“I think I can win multiple times a year.”

“Golf's weird because it's individual, and there's nobody to blame but yourself, but then, golfers also have this it's-everybody-else's-fault thing where you don't take ownership.”

“It was very frustrating, sitting on the couch, not doing anything. I couldn't pick up anything with my left hand. I was in a soft cast all the way up to my elbow. It wasn't fun. A lot of TV. I don't wish it upon anybody.”

“I just think pressure is all what you put on yourself.”

“I was a pretty average golfer.”
