“This is my 10th or 11th year. I can assure you that not a single person out there was upset with two to three inches of my midriff showing.”

It definitely took a toll on Jena,” Koepka acknowledged following his opening spherical at the PGA Championship. Last yr was just troublesome personally, with what was going on off the golf course, nothing to do on it. It was just off.”

Everything’s a lot better.

“That was kind of tough to deal with. Just being in a better place. It’s exciting. It’s a little bit of a fresh start as well. I think that’s a big piece of it. Yeah, when all that kind of lines up, it makes it enjoyable to be out here.”
