HONOLULU (AP) — Brooks Koepka hasn’t been the same since he tied for third in the FedEx Cup final in August, and hasn’t felt entirely healthy since last March.

He wouldn’t rate himself full strength now.

Koepka returns to competition this week in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, his first tournament since he reinjured his left knee in South Korea at the CJ Cup. He said Tuesday his left knee “doesn’t feel the same as my right.”

“It probably won’t for a while, but it does feel stable,” Koepka said. “Leaving Korea and all the way up to about a month ago, it just didn’t feel stable. It felt like it could either way. It could go left, out, back.”
