Brooks Koepka becomes first FSU golfer to reach No. 1

Brooks Koepka will be crowned the new No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time of his career after winning the CJ Cup at Nine Bridges early Sunday morning. Koepka (-21) made eagle on the final hole to secure a 4-stroke victory over Gary Woodland. He’ll move up two spots, replacing his close friend Dustin Johnson on top. At the moment, Justin Rose is ranked #2. Justin Thomas and Rory Mcllroy round out the top-5.

The tournament was Koepka’s first since winning PGA TOUR Player of the Year. During the windy 1st round, Koepka shot 71, but he rebounded with a 7-under par 65 Friday, moving him within one shot of leader Scott Piercy.
