AVONDALE, La. When the PGA Tour announced last fall that the Zurich Classic was transitioning into a two-man team event, Brooks Koepka seriously considered only one partner.His brother, Chase.Brooks is a Tour winner and U.S. Ryder Cupper, but his 23-year-old brother is no slouch, either Chase recently wrapped up a record-setting career at South Florida, where he was the programs all-time wins leader, and secured status on the European Challenge Tour for this season.Theyll compete together Thursday in front of more than a dozen family and friends.I never dreamed of this scenario, said the boys father, Bob. Playing with his brother is every fathers dream.They play wildly different games.Brooks is 6 feet, 180 pounds and known as one of the biggest (and wildest) hitters on Tour.

Chase is 5-foot-8, 155 pounds and has to rely on his driving accuracy and wedge game.Brooks bragged that his younger brother has actually gotten longer off the tee, pumping tee shots nearly 300 yards and keeping up with the big-hitting group Tuesday that included Bubba Watson and J.B. Holmes.He still hits it pretty far for his size, Brooks said.Brooks joked last week that he and Chase could either have an awesome experience at Zurich or want to kill each other by the second hole. Fortunately, he wasnt speaking from personal experience.I just know the first shot hes behind a tree, Im going to feel really bad, Brooks said. Hes been in fairways, hes used to putting it right next to the hole and making some putts, whereas we have been known to spray it a little bit off the tee.It will be interesting. It will be fun. Its something Im looking forward to. I dont think were going to have a problem. Its just more of a brotherly love kind of thing, I guess.Said Chase: We know each others games so well that it will actually suit us pretty well, I think.The Koepkas played nine holes Tuesday to sort out strategy. Though they live together in Tequesta, Fla., the brothers have different travel schedules and end up practicing together more than they play. Brooks said that he and his brother have played in the same tournament only once, at a U.S. Amateur qualifier.I think we can win this thing, Brooks said. I wouldnt be surprised at all come Sunday if were right there.
