‘Poison’- Golf World Reacts to Brooks Koepka’s Ryder Cup Announcement

The 43rd Ryder Cup is just a few days away. Team USA is all set to play Team Europe at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, and the competition will be challenging than ever. The U.S. is looking to bring back the trophy to American soil, but there was uncertainty around Brooks Koepka playing this time owing to his wrist injury. 

Brooks Koepka is an experienced Ryder Cup campaigner who has played in two editions before. While he doesn’t boast an impeccable record, a big-game player like Koepka is integral to any squad. 

However, Brooks Koepka cited injury concerns when he withdrew from last season’s Tour Championship. He had injured his wrist by hitting a tree root which placed him on the questionable list for the Ryder Cup.

All along, there were speculations if Brooks Koepka needs to be replaced. Fans were naming their best picks, but none of that is required anymore. Through a recent statement, Koepka confirmed that he’s fit and will be at Whistling Straits this year. 

“I’ll be there. I’m good to go,” Koepka told Golfweek. “I’m feeling good. Been doing my rehab, doing everything I need to do to be ready for the Cup. I’ll be there ready to play.”

“When I hit the root I thought it was a stinger and my wrist was feeling weird. I lost feeling to my elbow for a bit. Feeling came back from my elbow to mid-forearm two minutes later, but from mid-forearm to hand was kinda numb,” he added. 

However, the MRI results did not reveal too much damage, much to Koepka’s relief. The four-time major winner just needs to follow some basic recovery process to get back on track.
