HOYLAKE, England -- When Brooks Koepka walked up to the first tee at Royal Liverpool Golf Club for a practice round Monday, U.S. Ryder Cup team captain Zach Johnson, world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler and defending Open Championship winner Cameron Smith were waiting to tee off as well.
"There was a good little wait, so we all played," Koepka said.
It was probably a good idea for Johnson and Koepka to get reacquainted before the upcoming Ryder Cup, which is scheduled Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at Marco Simone Golf Club outside Rome.
