Koepka underwent MRI on knee prior to Memorial: 'Nothing is improved'
Brooks Koepka revealed he underwent an MRI on his bothersome knee Monday prior to the Memorial Tournament.
"Just wanted to check on it, see where it's at," he said after his 1-over round Saturday. "We got the results right after Korea, and then we just wanted to check, and nothing is improved, it's still the same. So, we'll figure it out when we're done."
Koepka received cell treatment on his left patella tendon following the 2019 Tour Championship in August after dealing with lingering pain throughout the season. He reinjured it at the 2019 CJ Cup, which forced him to skip the Presidents Cup in December.
Koepka noticeably favored his sore knee on multiple occasions Saturday.
"I've always struggled with uphill lies. I can't figure out a reason why on 15, I just can't get on my left side," he said.
Koepka added: "I feel OK, feel physically fine. It has its moments."
The 30-year-old committed late to the Memorial Tournament after missing the cut at the Workday Charity Open last week. He's set to play the next three events, with the PGA Championship concluding a stretch of five consecutive tournaments for Koepka.
