US Open: Brooks Koepka’s nagging wrist injury was fixed by horse doctor

BROOKS KOEPKA has been galloping away with the Majors ever since he paid a visit to a horse doctor.

The American, winner of four of his last eight Grand Slams, was in despair over a troublesome wrist injury that saw him miss the first four months of last season.

But a pal urged him to try a local horse chiropractor — and after their first session together his wrist was stable again. The cure cost him just $50.

Koepka, 29, returned to become only the second man to defend the US Open in 68 years.

The world No 1 has since added back-to-back USPGA wins and was second at The Masters last month.

But his short game coach, Yorkshireman Pete Cowen, said it had been a very difficult journey.

He explained: “People forget Brooks was out for a good few months with that wrist complaint.

“He was very concerned for his career because nobody could tell what was causing it.

'CRUNCHING AND MANIPULATION'

He went to all these fancy consultants, charging him fortunes, but not giving him any answers.

“Then he went to see a horse chiropractor — God knows where he found him — who immediately said, ‘I know what’s wrong’.
“After a bit of crunching and manipulation, Brooks was fixed.”
