Koepka withdrew from the tournament after making a bogey on the 9th after that drive, with Smash GC teammate Luis Carrera replacing him. LIV Golf's official communications account noted their score will only count towards the team competition, but Koepka could still return later this weekend if he choses.

After a frustrating front 9 in which he shot 7-over par, Koepka teed off on the ninth hole with a shot that went way left. He reacted by slamming his driver into the ground, then turning around and using said driver to obliterate a tee marker.
