It’s been a running gag on the PGA Tour that Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka have a yearly side bet on hole-outs from 50 yards or more. The bet, as it’s been told to multiple sources, is $1,000 for each one that falls, with the winner collecting at year’s end.
So when Koepka dropped one from 159 yards out during Friday’s second round of the Travelers Championship, it’s no surprise that he was quick to turn to the camera and remind his buddy about the wager.
Koepka shaped a perfect shot on the final hole at TPC River Highlands, one that pulled back gently and dropped in the cup.
BROOKSY!

Koepka tweeted out the shot later with the line “Straight cash homie” to which Thomas simply responded:
Dammit.
