Brooks Koepka to announcers: 'Just shut up and listen'

PGA Tour star Brooks Koepka thinks the announcers should quiet down if they want to hear what he and other players have to say on courses during tournaments. 

On Thursday, Koepka spoke with reporters after he shot four under in the opening round of the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head. 

Per Dylan Dethier of Golf.com, the 30-year-old bluntly explained why he feels he doesn't need to wear a microphone as he tees off, approaches greens or drains putts:

"I don’t understand why they want us to wear a mic when there’s a boom mic that stands 10 feet away from every shot that I hit. If the announcers would just shut up and listen, you could hear every word that we’re talking about. I don’t understand what the thing is.

"Half the time the lady’s holding a boom mic, and she’s listening to everything we’re saying all the way down. If they would just shut up, they could hear everything."

Recent history shows Koepka knows what he's talking about. Last week, he accidentally dropped an F-bomb on the first day of the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. One of those boom microphones picked it up.
