Basketball, baseball … anything but golf up for discussion between the Koepka brothers this Christmas
It’s been a big year on the course for the pair, with Brooks winning the US Open and Chase earning his European Tour card
It’s been a big year for brothers Brooks and Chase Koepka but when they finally get to catch up over Christmas, golf will be the last thing on the agenda.
While 27-year-old Brooks won his first major at this year’s US Open, younger brother Chase recently secured his European Tour card for 2018.
And the 23-year-old hasn’t wasted any time getting stuck in, delivering a solid one-over-par 71 in the opening round at the UBS Hong Kong Open on Thursday.
“I have only seen Brooks once since we played together at the Zurich Classic back in April,” Chase said. “I think he is playing in Tiger’s event [the Hero World Challenge] next week so once he has done that he will have a little bit of a break and so will I. It will be nice to catch up and celebrate our good years.
“We try not to talk about golf too much because we’re doing it all the time. We try to take a break from it, just relax and talk about other stuff. Basketball, baseball, anything other than golf usually.”
