Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland talks with Brooks Koepka on the 11th green during the first round of the 123rd U.S. Open Championship at The Los Angeles Country Club on June 15, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. LOS ANGELES — They shared a bro handshake and a laugh or two on the first tee box. Then, the odd couple — Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka — started down the fairway in search of solutions for the biggest problem in golf.
McIlroy did something about it. His 5-under 30 on the front nine during the afternoon wave matched what both Xander Shauffele and Rickie Fowler shot over the same nine holes in the morning en route to their record-setting 62s at Los Angeles Country Club. The USGA's pairing of Koepka and McIlroy — with Hideki Matsuyama added to the mix to presumably play peacemaker — caught the golf world's eye.
