Brooks Koepka will be hoping to win his second PGA tournament in 2021 when he takes part in the Houston Open on November 14. 
 
The American star won the Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale in Arizona, the USA in February. 
 
Koepka overcame a five-shot deficit on the final day, with a 6-under-par 65 and this was his second win at the event.

The 31-year-old, who is currently ranked 15th in the finished Official World Golf Rankings, finished in a tie for second place at the 2021 PGA Championship in May. 
 
A final round 74 saw him finish two shots behind his compatriot Phil Mickelson; who became the oldest major champion at the age of 50. 
 
In September 2021 Koepka, who has won eight PGA tournaments, played on the US team in the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin. 
 
The US team won 19-9 and Koepka went 2-2 0 and won his Sunday singles match against Bernd Wiesberger and he will be looking to carry his form into the Houston Open.

“I just practice before the majors,” Koepka said as he opened up about his preparations ahead of the Houston Open.
 
“Regular tournaments I don’t practice. If you’ve seen me on TV [at a regular PGA Tour event], that’s when I play golf. I’ve just been grinding, man. 
 
"You go through periods where you just feel like you’ve got no control of the clubhead or you don’t know exactly where your swing is and what you’re doing. It’s just frustrating.”
 
Curtis Strange and Vijay Singh are the most decorated players in the history of the Houston Open having won three titles.
