The five-time major champion was certainly enjoying his first of two weeks off after the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.
What Brooks Koepka was doing in Portugal before withdrawing from Rocket Classic
Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan played a round of golf with Brooks Koepka on a trip to Portugal last week.
While many would expect a PGA Tour star to play with his friends or fellow pros, Koepka was involved in a random match.

Vaughan sounded surprised by the opportunity to play with Koepka, although the American did not take it seriously.

According to Vaughan, the former LIV Golfer had a lot to drink throughout the round, though he was still impressive.
He explained on The Overlap Cricket: “I got drawn against Brooks Koepka. My partner, Rick, and I played Brooks and his pal, Kyle.
“He’s strong, yeah. It was his enjoyment time, his week off from professional golf, so he was doing a tequila shot every hole and a bit of Super Bock.
“I tried to keep up. Usually when I play golf, I get a shot per hole, but I didn’t realise what shot per hole I was getting.
“He was kind. He smokes it. He hit one 330 yards onto a green.”
