Brooks Koepka wins The CJ Cup, moves to World No.1 for first time
Koepka completes childhood dream with fifth PGA Tour title in South Korea.
Brooks Koepka has capped off a dream year by moving to World No.1 for the first time in his career following victory at The CJ Cup in South Korea.
Koepka, who successfully defended his US Open title in June before going on to win the US PGA Championship in August, made a stunning eagle on the 72nd hole to card a final-round 64 for a commanding four-stroke victory over Gary Woodland.
The victory marks Koepka's third of the year and his fifth career title on the PGA Tour.
"To be world No. 1 is something I dreamed of as a kid. I don't think this one is going to sink in," said Koepka, who now moves in front of Dustin Johnson in the rankings.
Leaderboard: Koepka (-21), Gary Woodland (-17), Ryan Palmer (-15), Rafa Cabrera Bello (-15), Jason Day (-12), Scott Piercy (-12)
