Brooks Koepka shows off his golf drive with Ryan Lomberg’s Stanley Cup
It's no secret that Brooks Koepka is a huge Florida Panthers fan. Recently, he shared a story showing off his golf drive with Ryan Lomberg and the Stanley Cup.
Koepka is a five-time major champion and the winningest player on the LIV Golf circuit. Last week, he won the LIV Golf Greenbrier by beating Jon Rahm in the playoffs, marking his fifth title on the Saudi-backed circuit.
On Friday, August 23, Calgary Flames left winger Ryan Lomberg shared a story on Instagram where Brooks Koepka was hitting on the range alongside him. In the video, the Stanley Cup is placed upside down as the golfer hits the ball.
"Brooks Koepka's Stanley sized drives," Lomberg wrote.
Lomberg, who is now signed by the Calgary Flames, played for the Panthers as a free agent for two years and played a significant role in their first-ever Stanley Cup triumph.
As for Koepka, he is also enjoying his break after his second win of the season last week. He fired 63 in the final round of Greenbrier to tie with Rahm, who had carded 65. In the first extra hole, he edged the Spaniard with a birdie. Following his win, he termed it as his favorite one.
"It's always good when you have to battle good players," he said, as per the BBC. "Jon is a hell of a player. For whatever reason, he has always gotten the better of me a little bit as of late. It feels nice just to get one."
