Ryder: New PGA champ Koepka wants to be in Rome

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 23 - Freshly crowned US PGA champ Brooks Koepka said Monday he would like to win a place in Team USA against Team Europe in the Ryder Cup in Rome this autumn.
    "I you come second, then first, first again, it would be really hard not to be chosen, right? I'll do my best, I'd really like to play the Ryder Cup in Rome and be led by Zach Johnson," said the 33-year-old Floridina, whose third PGA title brought him up to five majors won in his glittering career, and for the time being dismissed criticism of his being one of the emblems of the breakaway LIV circuit, the Arab superleague pitted against golf's traditional circuits.
    This year's Ryder Cup will be played on September 29-October 1 at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, just outside the Italian capital. (ANSA).
