Brooks Koepka’s first two tee shots this morning at the Honda Classic went way right. He didn’t give his driver a third chance to find a fairway.
Instead, the Ryder Cupper broke the club in two. Watch – and listen:
It doesn't look like Brooks will be hitting any more drivers today… pic.twitter.com/oKklc5a1hU

But Koepka calmed down quickly. Here he is walking down the fairway holding the two pieces:
Is that how adjustable club technology works? (via @bryanradio) 🤔😮😂🏌️⛳️ #BrooksWasHere pic.twitter.com/n839NJuvDi

And here he is nonchalantly handing the head back to his caddie, who looked like he still planned to protect it with a headcover.

So what caused Koepka to, um, snap so quickly? An opening triple-bogey on the 10th hole. And it didn’t get much better after that.
Koepka was seven over through seven holes in his second round and miles away from the cut line at PGA National. On the bright side, he’ll have plenty of time to get his driver re-shafted before his next competitive round.
