Notable groupings for American Express Round 2

This week’s tournament marks the first PGA Tour event of the year for four-time major champion Brooks Koepka, but it’s not his first start of the season. In four tournaments last fall, Koepka started showing signs that his game was coming around. He finished in the Top 10 twice, including a T7 at the November Masters.

Koepka played the first round of the American Express on the Nicklaus Tournament Course. For Friday’s second round, he will switch to the Stadium course. He’ll once again play alongside Paul Casey and Cameron Champ, starting off the 1st tee at 1:40 p.m. ET.
