Brooks Koepka (72) is fighting for the finals: "I can not bring him back every day"

ATLANTA – It was just earlier Sunday morning when Brooks Koepka rebounded after a shaky start until the third lap started on Saturday afternoon.

After two early birdies, Koepka pressed the reset button on Sunday morning and finished the remaining 13 holes without a bogey. But things started to slip away from the player of the year favorite as the pressure increased in the final round.

Koepka opened the match with five innings in a row before finally getting a circle in sixth place, the easiest hole of the week. An expensive double bogey followed in seventh place after his tee shot escaped and he needed two putts to clear a complicated mistake.

Another birdie followed in the 8th, but the real problem started at 12th par-4, where Koepka made the first of three consecutive bogeys.

"We just did not putts," said Koepka, who had 30 putts on Sunday, most of the week. "You know, those three putts that missed me, one after the other, 12, 13, 14, somehow took the air out of everything."

With the problems on the green, Koepka also faced problems from the start, affecting only five fairways on Sunday. So much success and praise afterward, Koepka sees with the big stick, it did not work in the final round and he knew very early.

"It was one of those days where even on the shooting range I did not feel very comfortable with the pilot," Koepka said. "I felt that the iron game was good, just the pilot, I could not – it was not fading enough, everything was a bit to the left, and it happens from time to time."

"I mean, I can not bring it everyday."
