Five-time Major champion Brooks Koepka knows what it takes to win.
And he will do whatever it takes to keep winning, even if it means shunning a big birthday bash on May 3, when he turned 34 on the first day of the LIV Golf Singapore event.
Koepka was joint-second alongside five others after opening the tournament with a five-under 66, but stressed that his birthday would be a low-key affair with two more rounds to go at Sentosa Golf Club's Serapong Course.
Apart from having dinner with his team and wife Jena Sims, the focus is on golf and staying in competition mode. There is more at stake as the Singapore tournament is a tune-up for his PGA Championship title defence from May 16-19.
The American said: "I don't drink during tournament weeks, so I'm not going to do anything, especially with the PGA coming up. I'm dry, so I won't be doing anything.
"Just like I said, it's going to be golf, work out - I'm very boring in the weeks that I play."
