Koepka fourth at Nelson: 'Sometimes you can just get beat'

After contending but ultimately falling short in a tune-up ahead of a major title defense, don't expect Brooks Koepka to lose much sleep over his finish at the AT&T Byron Nelson.

Koepka was the only player ranked inside the top 10 in the world to tee it up this week in Dallas, and he closed with a bogey-free 65 at Trinity Forest to finish the week at 20 under. But that still left him alone in fourth place, three shots behind Sung Kang who rallied to win for the first time on the PGA Tour. In speaking to reporters after the round, Koepka was quick to put his result in perspective.
