*“*And I think around this place you need good hands, because you can get some of the green lies that are quite difficult.

*“*Honestly, we were kind of shocked at how firm the greens were at the end of today.

*“*Felt like they softened up the more we played today, which was quite weird.

“He’s a solid player all around. It’s perfect for this event.“

Brooks Koepka’s opinion of Shane Lowry as a golfer

Koepka responded when asked by one reporter how he believes Lowry’s game will complement his this week at the Zurich Classic.

“Yeah, I think the way Shane drives the ball is really impressive,“ Koepka said.

*“*I think the way he’s able to shape it both ways.

*“*I think the game has gotten so much of a bomb it and just hit it far, where I can see what he’s doing.

*“*I hear him talk on the tee, certain shapes here and there, where he likes to cut it a little bit, draw it on this hole.

“It’s interesting the way they do it, but he’s a fantastic driver of the ball. His iron play is really, really solid, very consistent. Distance control is quite impressive.“
