Rahm, Koepka try to keep focus

LOS ANGELES: Jon Rahm says the merger of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf's Saudi backers has left golfers in limbo, but Brooks Koepka isn't daunted by a little 'chaos' at this week's US Open.

The winners of the first two majors of the year — Rahm claimed his second major title at the Masters in April and Koepka bagged his fifth at the PGA Championship last month — were among the many blindsided by the shock announcement last week that the PGA Tour and DP World Tour would join forces with the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
