Brooks Koepka

The U.S. Open just takes so much discipline. You have got to be a great putter and just kind of let things roll off your back.

It's really impressive when you've got two teams that are really battling it out, low-scoring game, a pitcher's duel. To me, that's so fun to watch.

To be No. 1 is something I've dreamed of as a kid.

There's a different feeling when you show up and you're defending. You can't wait to get out there. You're not anxious that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday would be over, but you're just excited to get that ball in the air on Thursday.

I've always been, I guess, pretty cool.

A lot of guys are known for the stuff they do off the golf course and who they like to hang around. It's pretty obvious who's doing that and who isn't.

I learned how to play golf over in Europe; I learned how to manage being on the road.

Being 21, 22 years old... traveling the world and getting to play golf is pretty neat.

If you look at some of the strongest athletes in the world, they're gymnasts. And they're the most flexible. You can be very strong, very flexible, and still be able to move.

I don't mind being by myself, even in a foreign country.

There are some things you have to accept come with being really good at something: more attention, more eyes on you, every move you make - whether good or bad, you have to answer. If that's the price of where I want to get, it'll be worth it.

Being in the fairway, I think the fairways are a little bit more overrated.
