Brooks Koepka falls short, ties for second at PGA with Oosthuizen

The Hindu  

If Brooks Koepka was rattled by the pressure of trying to win his fifth major championship while getting at best measured support from a rowdy pro-Phil Mickelson gallery, his expressionless face and implacable body language didn’t show it. Brooks Koepka on par 5s so far this week: pic.twitter.com/qaLOLDQBGT — PGA TOUR May 23, 2021 But an opening-round 69 left him three shots off the lead and the story changed quickly. But Koepka gave the lead back just as quickly, making double bogey to Mickelson’s birdie on the par-5 second. But getting dinged a few times isn’t exactly my idea of fun.” Oosthuizen lurked a few shots behind Mickelson most of the day and could have challenged for the lead on the back nine.
