Koepka recreates Tiger's famous boulder scene in Saudi Arabia
If ever a boulder needed moving on a golf course, Brooks Koepka would be the right person to call.
However, even the strong American needed help Friday at the European Tour event in Saudi Arabia after his drive nestled up beside a massive rock, recreating a scene eerily similar to the one Tiger Woods found himself in nearly 20 years ago to the date.
Notice Koepka doesn't help the security guards and marshals move the "loose impediment":
We’ve seen this movie before.

Look familiar?
On Jan. 31, 1999, Woods relied on fans to move a boulder at the Phoenix Open. He also stepped away while his helpers did their thing.
Tiger's boulder now has a plaque at TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course.
Hey @TigerWoods 20 years ago today. You remember this rock!? pic.twitter.com/oAfO9cOyKy
