Brooks Koepka becomes 7th player to go back-to-back at U.S. Open
One was about power. The other was about patience.
Brooks Koepka has a game for the U.S. Open no matter the course, no matter the test, no matter the circumstances.
He never lost hope when he began his title defense with a 75 and was 7-over par midway through the second round. He didn't lose his mind in the most punishing third round of a U.S. Open in nearly two decades.

Another big-name superfight could soon be coming to the Las Vegas area -- but this one would trade boxing gloves for golf clubs.
Golf stars Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson reportedly are trying to set up a $10 million winner-take-all match play event in Sin City that would be broadcasted live on television and would feature both greats wearing microphones.
