Brooks Koepka fires back at media over his US Ryder Cup team commitment

• American golfer accuses press of spinning his comments
• I never said Ryder Cup was negative, I said it was different'

Brooks Koepka took umbrage with the golfing media's coverage of recent comments that team sports were just maybe not in his DNA", which have snowballed into public questioning of his commitment to Team USA and the Ryder Cup.

The four-times major champion, in his first public remarks since suffering a wrist injury at the Tour Championship three weeks ago, spent a good chunk of Thursday morning's pre-tournament press conference at Whistling Straits addressing the blowback from a Golf Digest interview in which he described Ryder Cup week as hectic and a bit odd" because he is forced to break from his individual routine and given no time to decompress.
