SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France In the eyes of many casual fans, Brooks Koepka more closely resembles an NFL safety than a PGA Tour player. Its no surprise, then, that hes fully embracing the team dynamic in play this week at the Ryder Cup.Koepka made his event debut two years ago at Hazeltine, and he was a part of the victorious U.S. Presidents Cup squad last fall. But this week in France the first time hell step into a hostile road environment as he returns to the continent where he first began his pro career.While hes keenly aware that more jeers than cheers will await him on the first tee Friday, the presumptive Player of the Year isnt backing down.The Ryder Cup truly feels like a sporting event. A football game, a basketball game, whatever it is, Koepka said. Its loud and people arent afraid to boo you. Thats fun. I love that atmosphere, and I kind of got a taste of that at Hazeltine. It was the coolest experience.

Three of Koepkas four PGA Tour victories have come in majors, including two this year. The lone outlier remains the 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open, where the crowds around the 16th hole might be the closest comparison between a regular Tour event and the unabashed fervor of the Ryder Cup.Koepka handled that environment without issue, and hes eager to try his hand again this week in an admittedly more partisan setting.You kind of feel like youre a horse in the gate, getting ready to go and just kind of antsy, Koepka said. I wouldnt really call it nerves, but then once that first tee shot goes, youre ready to go. The excitement you have, youre fired up. Youre representing your country, playing for the rest of your team. You know, its bigger than just me. Youre playing for everybody else.

Ryder Cup 2018: Americans pummeled by Europeans in Paris
On this heartbreaking night when we lost Jarrod Lyle, I can't help but think of when I first met him. It was June 2011, and I'd flown to Memphis, Tenn., to write a magazine cover story on him. He was 29 at the time, cancer-free, and he'd agreed to visit the world-renowned St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for the first time.
