Brooks Koepka will not compete in the final round of the RBC Canadian Open due to a hand injury. The talented golfer had an impressive start, shooting a 6-under 64 in the first round, which placed him in a tie for the lead. He continued with a solid performance in the second round, scoring 68.
However, as he prepared for Saturday’s round, Koepka seemed to struggle with discomfort. His performance declined significantly, resulting in a 2-over 72. This setback is particularly notable as Koepka is making his return to the PGA Tour this season after a stint with LIV Golf.

Despite his injury, Koepka remains in the lineup for the upcoming U.S. Open. This prestigious tournament is set to take place next Thursday at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, located in Southampton, New York. Notably, Koepka won the U.S. Open during its last appearance at this venue in 2018.
