Brooks Koepka underwent scans on his vertebrae in his neck following his withdrawal from the Canadian Open on the weekend.
He maintains he will tee it up at Shinnecock Hills, where he is bidding for his third US Open title.
In Canada on Sunday and in New York on Monday, he underwent scans of the C5 and C6 vertebrae in his neck, which he had herniated in 2021, and of the C6 and C7 vertebrae. Those scans came back all clear. Koepka says his medical team believes there are two potential causes of the issue.
According to Golfweek, there could be two reasons. One is a flare-up of the Ulnar Nerve, which causes sensory and movement issues in the arm or hand, including finger weakness, numbness, pain, or tingling. The other possibility is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, caused by pressure on blood vessels or nerves in the area between the neck and shoulder.
Koepka did not practise on Monday.
One thing the five-time major winner is not considering is withdrawing. When asked if that was a possibility, he replied: “I’m gonna go this week.”
