Brook Koepka’s journey back from a wrist injury that kept him out four months hasn’t been totally smooth sailing, even if his play has suggested otherwise.
Koepka on Friday fired a 7-under 63 to move up the leaderboard into a tie for third, three shots behind leader Justin Rose through the end of the morning wave at the Fort Worth Invitational.
After a slow start Thursday saw him play his first 13 holes 3 over, Koepka is 10 under with 11 birdies in his last 23 holes at Colonial.
“It doesn’t matter to me. I could care less. I’m still going to try as hard as I can,” Koepka said. “I don’t care how many over or how many under I am. Still going to fight through it.”

Just like he’s been fighting his wrist the last two months or so. Koepka reinjured his wrist the Wednesday of The Players when he was practicing on the range and had to halt mid-swing after a golf cart drove in front of him. He nonetheless managed to finish T-11.
And that’s not the only issue he’s had with that wrist during his return.
“We had a bone pop out of place. I didn’t tell anybody, but, yeah, they popped it back in,” Koepka admitted Friday. “Luckily enough we kind of popped it back into place right away so it wasn’t stiff and I didn’t have too, too many problems.
“Yeah. I mean, I’ve dislocated my wrist twice in the last two months. You know, different spots, but, I mean, it’s fun. I’ll be all right.”
