U.S. Open Preview Brooks Koepka: Ready to Win Again By Mike May When the world’s top golfers gather in Brookline, Massachusetts to play in the 2022 U.S. Open, there will only be a few players in the field who are former U.S. Open champions. Tiger Woods, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Martin Kaymer, Gary Woodland, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Webb Simpson, and defending champion Jon Rahm will be looking for another U.S. Open Trophy. Past champions, Lucas Glover (2009) and Graeme McDowell (2010) will have to qualify to make the 2022 field. Woods and Koepka will be the only players in the field who have won multiple U.S. Open titles. Woods is a three-time champ (2000, 2002, and 2008), while Koepka has won the U.S Open Championship Trophy on two occasions (2017 and 2018). Koepka also has the distinction of being one of only three men to have won it consecutively. The other two are Americans Curtis Strange (1988-1989) and Willie Anderson (1903-1905). Anderson actually won four U.S. Open titles, with the first title coming in 1901. Indiana Golf Journal
