“That hasn’t been said since Tiger in his heyday.”Woods missed the cut by one stroke while playing the first two days with Koepka. On Saturday, Koepka, 29, was paired with Jordan Spieth, 25, his diametrical opposite in personality and playing style. Koepka is a basher of the ball who goes about his job with a ticket taker’s emotionless efficiency. From 2015 to 2017, Spieth won three of the 12 majors contested and was celebrated as the game’s next superstar, a role Koepka since has usurped with victories in three of the last eight majors, including last year’s P.G.A. After he played his way into the final pairing with a 66 on Friday, Spieth was asked about his weekend scoring average.
