One of the better stories ahead of the 2019 Open Championship was Tiger Woods telling the media that he texted Brooks Koepka to get in on a practice round with “Brooksie” ahead of the major at Royal Portrush.
The punchline was he heard “nothing” back from the world No. 1 and we — along with many others — surmised that Koepka was holding off from practicing with Woods because his caddie played Portrush a ton growing up.
It turns out that’s not the case.
Koepka told Sky Sports that he changed his phone number after someone leaked it at the U.S. Open. Here’s more:
“I changed it at the US Open when somebody leaked it. I got about 40 text messages so I changed it Monday night and I didn’t let many people know. We don’t text that often so I didn’t get any of the text messages. But I texted him on Wednesday from the new number and he texted me back. Don’t worry, we’re good.”
Nope. No ghosting here.
