Brooks Koepka, one back: Playing Ocean Course 'easy' compared to recent rehab

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – The Ocean Course has presented the stiffest challenge of the year, with 5 under leading at the halfway point, just 18 players under par and several scores in the 80s. But Brooks Koepka said navigating this brute is nothing compared to what he’s dealt with the past two months while recovering from a dislocated right kneecap.

“This was all easy,” he said Friday night. “Everything I did in rehab was a hell of a lot harder than that. [My doctors], they know what I went through. Maybe nobody else really does, but it’s a grind.
