Brooks Koepka is looking to win his first tournament in over a year at the French Open.
He shares the lead with Min Woo Lee after a 6-under 65 on Saturday.
Koepka had five straight birdies on the back nine and attributed his low round to good putting.
He is one shot clear of a trio that includes Michael Kim, Guido Migliozzi, and Marcus Armitage.
Koepka’s last victory was in August 2024 on the LIV Golf League at the Greenbrier in West Virginia.
He is feeling confident about his game and hopes to win tomorrow.
Imagine a golfer once at the top of their game now struggling to find their footing. This is the story of Brooks Kepka, a fivetime major champion who has gone over a year without a win. But here’s where it gets interesting. Kepka is now tied for the lead in the French Open and he’s looking to break his losing streak. As he stepped onto the green at Gulf Desk Nom Lepertes in Paris, Kepka seemed to have found his rhythm, rattling off five straight birdies on the back nine and finishing with a 6 under 65. This impressive performance has given him a share of the lead and he’s now tied with Min Wu Lee at 11 under 202. But what’s behind Keepka’s sudden resurgence? According to him, it’s all about the putting. He had eight birdies in the round and although he finished with a bogey on the par 31 18th, he’s feeling optimistic about his chances.

This is Kepka’s third straight week playing on the European Tour after missing the cut in the Irish Open and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. He’s also had a tough time in the majors this year, missing the cut in three of the four tournaments. His last victory was in August 2024 on the Liv Golf League at the Greenbryer in West Virginia.

And then there are the players who are just one shot behind including Michael Kim, Guido Miglozi and Marcus Armatage. As the tournament heats up, the question on everyone’s mind is canka finally break his losing streak and take home the win. But here’s the controversy. Some might say that Kepka’s struggles are a result of his own doing, while others might argue that he’s simply been having a bad streak. And this is the part most people miss. The mental game of golf is just as important as the physical one. So, what do you think? Canka pull off a win, or will he continue to struggle? Let us know in the comments. As we wait to see how the tournament unfolds, one thing is certain. Brooks Kepka is back in the game and he’s ready to give it his
