PORTRUSH, NORTHERN IRELAND—Brooks Koepka doesn’t need to reach too far back in the memory bank to know how precarious a big lead can be. He nearly gave away his last major just two months ago after leading by seven shots going into the final round of the PGA Championship. Shane Lowry surely understands, too, though his memories are more bittersweet. Little wonder Koepka couldn’t wait to get out of the interview area Saturday at the British Open. And that kind of pedigree can make those ahead of Koepka take notice when his name appears on the leaderboard.
