Clubhouse leader Brooks Koepka revealed he was questioned by Augusta National officials following his second round on Friday after TV footage showed the LIV Golf player giving a five-fingered signal to Gary Woodland on the opening day of play.
Koepka used a five-iron from 237 yards out to find the green at the par-five 15th hole during the first round on Thursday and then removed his glove with his fingers spread out.
Officials wanted to know if Koepka was passing information to playing partner Woodland, the 2019 U.S. Open champion, who had 216 yards left to the pin after his tee shot.
“Today was just about my — I guess my hand and my glove. I don’t know if you’re supposed to take your glove off with your fist closed or what now,” said Koepka.
