A MONTH after snapping a second set of irons in frustration at his poor form, Brooks Koepka is in pole position for a second win in three events in the WGC-Workday Championship.
Koepka’s second round of 66 was marred only by a bogey on the 18th, but left the four-time major winner on 11 under par, a shot ahead of US PGA champion Collin Morikawa, Billy Horschel and Australia’s Cameron Smith.
Joint overnight leaders Matt Fitzpatrick and Webb Simpson were a shot further back on nine under alongside Tony Finau, with defending champion Patrick Reed and Kevin Kisner another stroke adrift.
