Brooks Koepka has sat and waited to get into the last two signature events as an alternate only to head home Thursday after not getting into the events.
It's not the first time in his career it happened, but he also is understanding of the position he is in. Koepka is playing in Myrtle Beach this week.
"The way I look at it is I'm itching to get in, but I'm accepting of where I'm at, and I understand that there's prices to pay for coming back, and I'm willing to accept those and whatever I have to do.
"I knew this year was going to be challenging to even get in them. I kind of thought maybe by around U.S. Open, but to know that I'm kind of knocking on the door already is a good thing. Just the answer to everything is play better, and you're in."
Tyler Weaver wins the Valspar Collegiate by beating OU's Cowan in the first playoff hole.
