U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP


June 15, 2018


Brooks Koepka


Southampton, New York

Q. Brooks, a couple bogeys, 12 and 13. Six birdies. That's a great round of golf. How do you feel?
BROOKS KOEPKA: I felt like I played really well. It was unfortunate, just hit a few bad drives. And if you do that out here, it's going to penalize you pretty bad.

I felt like I was playing solid. My iron play was pretty good. Putting -- the putts were going in. I felt like I hit good putts yesterday. Nothing went in. Where today, they were kind of bouncing in. Obviously, they're a little -- it's poa, so they're going to be a little bouncy.

But it was nice to see some go in, and I think I've got these greens a little more figured out today.

Q. Put yourself in a great position.
BROOKS KOEPKA: Yeah, I mean, obviously, you don't want to be that many back. But it's a U.S. Open, so disaster's always around the corner. You never know what's going to happen. You just keep putting the ball in play, hitting greens and try to sneak in a few birdies when you can.

Q. Do you feel like a finish like that, with probably good conditions tomorrow, gives you -- puts you in a place where you have some momentum going forward and a good feel for the course right now where you can make a charge?
BROOKS KOEPKA: Yeah. I feel like I've got, you know, some momentum on my side. Obviously, with finishing with, what, six birdies, I played really solid.

I felt like I played really solid yesterday. You know, there's nobody more confident here than me. I feel like I'm playing really well. Just need to continue what we're doing.

Q. You know D.J. as well as anybody. What will make him hard to catch?
BROOKS KOEPKA: This golf course. There's not many birdies. Like I said, there's a disaster around every corner. I mean, all it takes is one shot in the fescue, and you could be in there for a while.

But, obviously, you need a good round tomorrow just to give yourself a chance. You know, anything within three shots of the lead on the back nine Sunday, anything can happen.

Q. Thanks, Brooks.
BROOKS KOEPKA: Thanks.
