FARMINGDALE, N.Y. When playing a major alongside Tiger Woods, its easy to get caught up in the moment and lose track of the task at hand. Just ask Brooks Koepka.The defending PGA champ played the first two rounds at Bethpage alongside Woods and Open champ Francesco Molinari, creating a marquee grouping that featured the current holders of golfs four majors. With Woods making his first start since the Masters, Koepka used the extra spotlight to obliterate the field en route to a seven-shot lead through 36 holes.Inching closer to a fourth major title in less than two years, Koepka shared a story from the first time he played with Woods. That was during the final round of the 2013 PGA Championship at Oak Hill, when Woods was in the middle of a five-win season and Koepka was still a little-known prospect on the European Tour.

All I did was watch him for nine holes. Thats what I grew up doing, Koepka said. I grew up watching him on TV, and I spent the first nine holes, all I did was pay attention to every move he made. Whether he was just picking up his tee, whatever it was. And you cant do that. Youve got to focus on your own game.That day,Woods shot an even-par 70 to beat Koepka by seven. It was a far different story this week on the Black Course, where Woods missed the cut and lost to Koepka by a whopping 17 shots during the two rounds they played together. After rounds of 63-65, Koepka broke the 36-hole scoring record for major championships and is halfway to successfully defending his title.Having learned from their encounter six years ago at this event, Koepka reveled this week in his grouping with Woods in front of the raucous New York crowds. But when it came time to put the ball in the air, he was focused on his own game rather than his playing partner.I couldnt tell you what shots Francesco or Tiger hit. I mean, I watch him, but it really just doesnt register of whats going on, Koepka said. Im so focused on what Im doing now, it doesnt matter who is in the group, where it is. But its fun to have that energy of him in the group for sure.
Tiger Woods won the Masters on Sunday and an old viral video made it's way around social media again. But it's not real, unfortunately.

Watching Tiger taught Koepka not to watch Tiger
Brooks Koepka defended his title at the PGA Championship to stake a claim as the most dominant golfer in the world. Koepka has won three of the last five majors and four in less than two years, a run we haven't seen since Tiger Woods at his peak. Koepka's ascent to the top was unusual, and he uses any slight he can find as motivation.
