TV Quick Quotes

Q. Brooks, a league-leading fifth win, but to do it going toe-to-toe with Jon Rahm, is this one of the sweetest wins you've had out here on LIV?

BROOKS KOEPKA: Yeah, I think this is probably my favorite one. It's always good when you battle good players. I battled Gooch for a while last year, felt like every tournament, but yeah, Jon is a hell of a player. For whatever reason he's always got the better of me a little bit as of late. So it feels nice just to get one.

Q. As you said, the last time you went head-to-head with him at the Masters you didn't come out on top. Was there extra motivation today to get this job done, especially against him?

BROOKS KOEPKA: I wasn't thinking about it. It was just one of those things, just go play golf and go get it in the hole as quickly as possible. Played really well today. I'm proud of myself for that. It's a good win. I'm ready to get home and go see my wife and kid.

Q. You played brilliantly today. From holes 8 to 12, you had good looks every time, but you missed all those putts for birdies, one for an eagle. Were you getting frustrated out there?

BROOKS KOEPKA: No, I felt like on that par-5 I misread the putt and I pushed it. It was kind of a double whammy right there where it's hard to expect it to go in. I felt like I hit good putts; a lot of them didn't go in. Then I holed the two 15-footers on 14 and 15.

I felt good about it, very pleased, and just happy with the team win, as well.

Q. Another team win, you're in fourth place now. That trip to Nashville to support Talor's bull riding team, that was the tonic, wasn't it.

BROOKS KOEPKA: Yeah, I'm not so sure about the judgment on that. I don't know, from my eye it didn't look like they won that. But it was good to see it, see it in person, and go support something that Talor is an owner of and has enjoyed. Just go support the team.
