Release time:2024-03-18
Brooks Copca broke through his first career Grand Slam title at the 117th US Open, conquering Mount Erin with an outstanding final round and becoming the champion of the 2017 US Open.
27 year old Kopka has now joined the elite ranks of Grand Slam champions. Since 1895, the US Open has been filled with top champions, including Rolex spokespersons Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicholas, and Gary Pryol, who were once known as the "three giants" of the golf world.
The spokesperson for Rolex, who has recently won the US Open championship, includes South Africa's Retif Goosen and Tiger Woods, who together have won the US Open championship three times, as well as 2014 and 2015 US Open champions Martin Kemmel and Jordan Speth.
At the beginning of the final round of the game, both Copca and Justin Thomas, who was also the spokesperson for Rolex, were trailing the leader by one stroke, with a total score of 11 strokes below par. He quickly entered the game with birdies on holes 1 and 2, and then pushed a ball 30 feet from the hole on hole 8. At that time, he was leading alone by 14 strokes below par.
After the transition, Copka threw a shot on the 10th hole, but he calmly responded by hitting three consecutive birdies on the 14th, 15th, and 16th holes to achieve a total score of 16 below par, tying the record for winning the US Open and expanding his lead to 4 strokes.
After the competition, Kopka said, "It's really great to see my name engraved on the championship trophy like so many other great names. It's a true honor."
"I haven't recovered yet, but I believe it will be a special victory. I want to see my family, celebrate with them, and all those who have helped me."
Kopka has won championships in both the European and American tournaments. He is a student of Claude Harmon III, a Rolex spokesperson and renowned golf coach, and has now successfully won the US Open championship. There are still many outstanding players in Rolex's new team, and the new generation of players look forward to joining the elite ranks, while also inspiring future players to follow in their footsteps.
