Brooks Koepka repeats as US Open champ

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — 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.

And with a cool head and a hot putter, he didn’t give anyone a chance down the stretch Sunday at Shinnecock Hills.
