Brooks Koepka bounced back at the 2024 LIV Golf Singapore. The American golfer found his red-hot form at the ongoing Saudi Circuit event. He struggled with his game the last time he competed in Masters in April. He finished in a tie for 45th place at the Augusta event.

Brooks Koepka teed it up at the LIV Golf Singapore event, and following the second round of the event on Saturday, May 4, Koepka took the lead in the game with a score of under 12.

"Keep doing the work, and hopefully, something will turn around" - Brooks Kopeka sets his eyes on defending PGA Championship title

Brooks Koepka discussed his performance at the Masters tournament and his preparation to defend his PGA Championship title during a press conference at the LIV Golf Singapore event.

The American golfer admitted that he had wasted significant time leading up to the Augusta event, impacting his performance at the Major. Nevertheless, he was determined to defend his PGA Championship title.

Speaking of his performances in Majors, Koepka said (via Ten Golf's YouTube channel):

"Clearly not very good with Augusta. The way that went. So, kind of felt like I wasted all the time from December till then. But just keep grinding it away, keep doing the work, and hopefully, something will turn around." (3:34-3:50)
