At the midway point of the no-cut WGC-Workday Championship, four-time major winner Brooks Koepka takes a one-shot lead at 11 under into the weekend at The Concession Golf Club. Cameron Smith, Billy Horschel and Collin Morikawa are all at 10 under, while Tony Finau, Webb Simpson and Matthew Fitzpatrick are at 9 under.
Our resident expert, longtime Tour caddie John Rathouz, knows Koepka will be tough to catch — especially since he’s still riding the momentum from a win earlier this month in Phoenix. But, if anyone can track him down, Rathouz says to look out for Morikawa — the reigning PGA Champion — whose putter is looking hot this week.
Watch the video above for Rathouz’s breakdown of both the WG-Workday Championship and the Puerto Rico Open.
