VIDEO: Brooks Koepka Trolls Joe Buck in Hilarious Clip Leading up to US Open
By Zack Jiang
Joe Buck is one of the most accomplished commentators in sports, and has set up shop at Pebble Beach to cover the upcoming US Open. While Buck was there, he ran into golfer Brooks Koepka, and wanted to show his followers their encounter. Well, Brooks had had other plans.

Koepka's "good buddy Jim" would be reference to Jim Nantz, a longtime commentator on CBS.
The troll gets a hilarious reaction out of Buck, even though it was staged for entertainment purposes. The golfer is probably also getting Buck back for his mishap two years ago when he mistook Koepka's girlfriend for his ex-girlfriend. Oh, and that happened just minutes after Koepka won the US Open, too!

It seems there is no hard feelings over the incident and that a friendship actually developed over the mistake. If Koepka ends up winning the US Open again this year, Buck should have no problems identifying him and his entire entourage. He's surely done his homework way, way ahead of time.
