Covid-19 protocols may mean Open press conferences are limited to 15 minutes, but no one could complain of feeling short changed by Brooks Koepka.
Koepka held court at Royal St George's on Tuesday and revealed more on the origin of his feud with Bryson DeChambeau, how he celebrated his previous major wins 'a little too much' and how mistakes in this year's 'drive me nuts'.
The world number eight also confessed that he is not a fan of this week's venue and even fell asleep here in 2003, missing the dramatic closing stages as 500-1 outsider Ben Curtis defied the odds to lift the Claret Jug.

'Ricky told me when I came out, I hit a few putts and then just walked right over to him. We had a conversation.
