Rory 😃. Q. If come Sunday you find yourself in contention and the man to the side of you is a LIV player, would there be more incentive to win? RM: I mean, I'll be trying to win a golf tournament regardless. They are going to be pretty tired on Sunday; it will be the fourth day.

Brooks Koepka on the LIV Golf situation: "I don't understand. I'm trying to focus on the U.S. Open, man. I legitimately don't get it. I'm tired of the conversations. I'm tired of all this stuff. Like I said, y'all are throwing a black cloud on the U.S. Open. I think that sucks."
