Koepka has been participating in the 7th LIV Golf Tournament (total prize money of $20 million) held at Sentosa Golf Club (par 71, 7406 yards) in Singapore since the 3rd (Korea time). Koepka, who led the tournament with an interim total of 12-under 130 until the second round, was likely to play a joint round with Matthew Wolff of England, who tied for second place.
Coincidentally, Koepka and Wolf used to be teammates at LIV Golf until last season. However, after the season ended, Koepka openly shot Wolf, saying, "He doesn\'t try to socialize with the team members and practices diligently. What a waste of his talent." Koepka is keeping his team\'s captaincy.
After all, he moved to a team led by Bubba Watson (U.S.), and has been in the top four twice this season, ranking 14th in individual competitions among 55 players in LIV. He is also ranking higher than Koepka, who is ranking 16th in individual competitions. 토토사이트
According to the U.S. golf magazine, a reporter asked Koepka about the possibility of a joint round after the second round, saying, "You must not be interested in LIV Golf. I played a joint round with Wolff last week." Koepka was seen expressing his opinion without hesitation.
Koepka, who became bitter after pointing out that he played slowly against Bryson DeChambeau (U.S.) in 2019, publicly complained to Patrick Cantlay (U.S.) and Viktor Hovlan (Norway), who played in the previous group at the Masters last year, saying, "The game was slow in the previous group, which hindered our performance." This time, the reporter was hit by Koepka.
Koepka was adamant that "I have no problem with Wolff," expressing discontent with him, but it is good for him and our team that he personally likes him and changed teams. In particular, he has been in good form in every aspect of the season," in complimenting Wolff.
Meanwhile, Koepka continued to lead the tournament on the last day of the tournament, winning the title in Singapore. Koepka, who tied four birdies and one bogey to 3-under 68, recorded 15-under 198 overall for three days of the tournament, beating the runner-up group by a two-par margin to win the title. It is Koepka\'s first win of the season and her fourth career win in LIV Golf. Koepka won 4 million U.S. dollars in individual competition prize money. However, the team came in fourth place in the team competition, so there is no prize money for the team competition.
"Australian Duo" Cameron Smith and Mark Leciman finished joint second, two strokes short of Koepka. With their performance, a team of Australian players, including Smith, Leciman, Matt Jones and Lucas Herbert (Australia), won the team tournament for two consecutive weeks following the sixth LIV Golf tournament held in Australia last week.
