On opening day, Koepka’s morning foursome went in a way no one expected it to. On the 15th hole, they ended up encountering some issues. Koepka ended up calling the authorities over, inspecting the drainage area that he thought would interfere with his swings. Over time, all players gathered around Koepka going back and forth with the officials.
Garcia was the one who took a sip while the argument was going on, promptly spitting it out. The officials refused to budge, stating that while Koepka believed that the drainage area was indeed an obstruction, it would not affect his swing. Koepka had an interesting response – “You don’t think my club might hit right there? Have you ever seen me hit a ball?”
“I’ve seen you hit plenty of them, yeah,” the official said in response to Koepka’s reply.
