ORLANDO, Fla. – Not only did Brooks Koepka walk off the course Saturday afternoon at Bay Hill with the worst score of his PGA Tour career, but he also was down a putter cover after his caddie, Ricky Elliott, left it behind at some point during the round.
Not that the flatstick – or any of Koepka’s clubs for that matter – needed to cool off.
The world No. 3 hit just three fairways, five greens and for the second straight day needed at least 30 putts to get through 18 holes. A third-round, 9-over 81 marked Koepka’s worst round since a second-round 80 at the 2013 Open Championship.
