Sir Nick Faldo: My Masters Champions Dinner was iconic but one golfer got it horribly wrong
Brooks Koepka was in typical form during his pre-tournament press conference at this week’s Masters tournament.The world No. 33-ranked golfer has a reputation for being short with the press and clearly wasn't feeling this particular journalist's poorly thought-out question."It sounds like the course is already pretty dialed this week, but under softer or optimal scoring conditions do you think 59 is obtainable on this golf course?" the reporter asked.
Koepka said: "I mean, now, anything’s attainable. But, yeah, if you want to go play the members tees and maybe play like 15 holes, yeah, I could do that."The Palm Beach County native also revealed why he tends to step up on the biggest occasions. "It’s what I always dreamed of when I was a kid. When I was practicing at my dad’s course when I was younger it was always to win a major championship.
“Even today, that’s what I first see, that’s what I think you’re judged by, your legacy, what you’re defined by. I can tell you exactly how many Jack, Tiger, Arnold, Tom, all these guys, how many majors they won. It’s tough to tell how many events they won, but I know that there’s one surefire way to figure out who is who is by major championships.
