Brooks Koepka tells Dan Patrick that Michael Jordan ‘shut me up pretty quick’

Brooks Koepka joined the Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday for a friendly chat about beer, betting, trash talking and Michael Jordan.

Patrick first asked Koepka about going 30 days without alcohol. He confirmed that he did but that on Day 31 it was on.

His go to drink? Michelob Ultra, Koepka said.

“You gotta find that right amount” if you’re going to drink beer while you’re playing golf, he said.

The discussion later turned to Jordan. Koepka, whose hair was starting to return, admitted he tried talking some trash to MJ but “he shut me up pretty quick.”

It was four, five years ago, Koepka said, when they were playing a match in Florida.

“MJ was up on me a early, then I got up on him late, turned the tables. … we got to the 17th tee and he says: ‘It’s fourth quarter baby. I don’t lose.'”

Koepka said: “This is the MJ I remember.”

Jordan won 17 and then “he looks at me on 18, shook my hand, wanted to know where my wallet was at.”
