Brooks Koepka marked his return to the PGA Tour with a tied 56th finish at two-under par for the tournament.<\/p>\n
The five-time major winner, who jumped back to the PGA Tour from LIV Golf last month, shot rounds of 73, 68, 73 and 70.<\/p>\n
Koepka\u2019s putting let him down at times, but improved significantly for the final round after a reportedly four-hour putting session on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
Asked post-round about the biggest changes since he last played on the PGA Tour in 2022, Koepka said the new faces in the field was the standout.<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably the biggest change is that I don\u2019t know about half the guys,\u201d Koepka said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the last four years, there\u2019s been a lot of turnover. So, that\u2019s the one thing that I\u2019ve taken away. There\u2019s half the guys I do know, and half the guys I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll be a fun year getting to know everybody. I\u2019m excited.\u201d<\/p>\n
Next week Koepka will play The Waste Management Phoenix Open, where he last won a PGA Tour event in 2021, with its famous par 3 stadium hole.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it will be good. I enjoy next week. I love the chaos, I think it\u2019s fun,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it\u2019s been, what, four years since I\u2019ve been back so I\u2019m excited to get back out there to a place I\u2019m familiar with, comfortable with and a place I love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam Scott finished the best of the four Australians, coming in a tie for 30th.<\/p>\n
The veteran fired a four-under par final round of 68 to reach eight-under for the tournament after earlier rounds of 68, 71 and 73.<\/p>\n
Second year PGA Tour player Karl Vilips was one shot back from Scott at seven-under following a final round 70.<\/p>\n
Jason Day ended up at the same mark with a fourth round 72.<\/p>\n
Cam Davis meanwhile had a Sunday to forget, falling to +2 overall with a 79.
