Bob considered his son's growth, saying, "He's always been a focused young man in golf, and I think now he's really taken it to a whole new level." In 2014, when Brooks Koepka got the fourth spot at the U.S. Open, Bob shared his feelings with local media. Describing the experience, Bob said, “It was overwhelming. I had tears, because it was just overwhelming to know that he’s reached the pinnacle of his career …to accomplish that so quickly, I don’t know if anyone thought he could do it so quick,” (via Heavy.com).
