BROOKS DEFENDS IN JEDDAH

Monday, October 16, 2023

Brooks Koepka defended his title at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club on Sunday, having come through a playoff to win at LIV Golf Jeddah.

Shooting a final round 68 (2 under par), Brooks finished his week on 14 under par, following on from rounds of 66 and 62. 

He birdied two of his last three holes in regulation play to force a playoff with Talor Gooch and birdied the second playoff hole to secure the victory.

“It’s been great. It’s been fantastic,” said the Smash GC Captain about his successful title defence. “It’s always a good feeling. Super proud of the way I played today.”

With this win, Brooks earned his third victory on the LIV circuit, his second this season and finished the year placed third in the individual standings.

Well done, Brooks. Fantastic golf this week!
