Brooks Koepka could probably win Majors left-handed if these numbers are for real

By

A day after Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas shared swings and results of a left-handed competition, Brooks Koepka showed his fellow PGA Tour pros who is boss when it comes to switch-hitting on the course. Or rather, in a hitting bay. Turns out Koepka is actually practising during this unexpected hiatus in the golf schedule.

First, a look at the lefty cuts of JT and Rickie, who said he rallied on the back nine to shoot 94 and beat his mate:

The average weekend hack sees those swings – and even that score – and salivates. But Brooks just thought it was cute.

On Friday, Koepka’s swing coach, Claude Harmon, shared a couple videos of Koepka showing off his lefty swing, and, well, wow. Check it out:

 

Look at those numbers! Koepka can carry an 8-iron 194 yards from the left side?! Does he even do that righty? You’re probably wondering, what about the driver? Glad you asked!

How about that 293-yard carry with the driver?! And as you can see by the shot dispersion chart, he’s not exactly spraying it off the tee. What a beast.

Koepka has often indicated he feels he gets a bit overlooked despite being a four-time Major champ, so maybe his plan is to win Major No.5 from the opposite side to really stick it to everyone. For the time being, he seemed pretty content just sticking it to JT and Rick.
