SHANGHAI — U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka made birdie from a water hazard late in his round and opened with an 8-under 64 to build a one-shot lead in the World Golf Championship-HSBC Champions. Koepka already threw away one opportunity by three-putting from 4 feet on the third hole for bogey. Then, he hooked a 3-iron off the tee at the par-5 eighth and into a tiny stream. He removed his shoes and blasted it out of the water onto the fairway, ripped a 3-wood from 275 yards onto the green and made a 20-foot birdie putt. He had a one-shot lead over Gavin Green of Malaysia and Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand. Patrick Reed was another shot behind with a 66. Dustin Johnson, former PGA TOUR Player of the Year, opened with a 68.
If you’re already tired of jaw-dropping Cameron Champ, well, it’s going to be a long year for you. In the final event before the PGA Tour’s mini offseason, Champ is once again in the mix at the RSM Classic, just like he’s been pretty much every time he’s teed it up this fall (T-25 at Safeway, Win at Sanderson Farms, T-28 at Shriners, T-10 at Mayakoba). While he still has a few holes left in his second round, Champ will likely be inside the top 10 heading into the weekend, and he has incredible shots like this one on the par-3 12th of Sea Island Resort’s Seaside course to thank.
