Brooks Koepka: Forms and Statistics

Brooks Koepka is an American professional golfer who is currently competing in the LIV Golf League after previously playing on the PGA Tour. In the early stages of his career, he competed on the European Challenge Tour before moving on to the European Tour proper. His skills started getting dominant in the sport from October 2018 when he achieved the world number one ranking in the Official World Golf Ranking, maintaining this position for 47 consecutive weeks following his victory at the 2018 CJ Cup. He is the first golfer in history to simultaneously hold the titles of two majors by winning the U.S. Open in 2017 and 2018 and the PGA Championship in 2018 and 2019. His first major trophy was the Open in Erin Hills, Wisconsin. He became the first golfer to win back-to-back U.S. Opens since Curtis Strange in 1988 and 1989 when he successfully defended his title in 2018 at Shinnecock Hills on Long Island. At Bellerive Country Club in 2018, he shot a 72-hole tournament record of 264 and won his third major championship. In 2023, Koepka secured his third PGA Championship title, bringing his total major wins to five within six years.

Brooks Koepka: Strength

Brooks Koepka has been inconsistent in recent times, and his facing scrutiny for his poor performances.  

Rickie Fowler: Forms and Statistics

In July 2018, Rickie Fowler emerged as the eventual winner in a playoff against Collin Morikawa and Hadwin. The former World Number Four decided to remain on the PGA Tour rather than switch to LIV Golf. He is also a six-time PGA Tour winner and had a 15th-place finish at the Truist Championship. Fowler had a great performance at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2023 and Quail Hollow in 2012. In the Valero Texas Open, He recorded 75-65-73-75 to finish in 30th place. Also, in the RBC Heritage and Texas Children's Houston Open, He recorded a score margin of 72-67-72-73 and 75-65-73-75 respectively. He ended in 68th place in the RBC Heritage and 52nd in the Texas Children's Houston Open. In the THE PLAYERS Championship, he recorded a score of 68-71-82-79 and placed 71st.

Rickie Fowler: Strength

Rickie Fowler has not been having things his way lately. He had to rely on an invitation to get to play on this Golf course. The reason is not far-fetched, as he has dropped out of the ranking of not being top 100. 

Shane Lowry: Forms and Statistics

Shane Lowry was a valuable member of the Irish teams, contributing to victories in the European Amateur Team Championship in both 2007 and 2008, with the latter featuring him alongside Rory McIlroy. Despite his triumph at the Irish Open, Lowry chose to turn professional right after, foregoing the opportunity to participate in the Walker Cup in September 2009. He made his professional debut on May 28 at the European Open but faced challenges, missing the cut after a first-round 78 and a second-round 73. His professional career, however, has seen significant achievements, including winning the 2015 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. In 2019, Lowry secured victory at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship by a single shot over Richard Sterne. His Ryder Cup experience includes representing the European team in the 2021 event at Whistling Straits, where the U.S. team emerged victorious with a score of 19–9. Lowry concluded the tournament with a 1–2–0 record, including a loss in his Sunday singles match against Patrick Cantlay. Irish professional golfer Shane Lowry plays on the European Tour and the PGA Tour. Starting his golf career in 2007 as an amateur, he won the Amateur Close Championship, among other trophies like the Irish Amateur Close Championship, the West of Ireland Championship, the North of Ireland Championship, the Mullingar Scratch Cup, and the Lee Valley Senior Scratch Cup. After turning professional in 2009, Shane Lowry has won seven trophies, with three on the PGA Tour, coming in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, the Open Championship, and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Shane Lowry Strength

Shane Lowry has recently improved in his game and approach to the sport. He once tied to Paul Casey, Padraig Harrington, and Harry Higgs in 2021 for the fourth spot. 

Brooks Koepka/Rickie Fowler/Shane Fowry Match Prediction 15 May 2025

The three golfers are exciting, and I expect so much from them. Brooks Koepka has won the Wanamaker Trophy three times and is in top position to give Rickie Fowler a chase for the next round. Both players will be facing each other in the opening two rounds. The Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club course is not a new ground not familiar with Fowler. He will be hoping to extend his run, having made the cut seven times in a row. While Shane Lowry could make things tough here, I believe the first hole would end in a draw.

Our match prediction: is Shane Lowry, the winner in the round with odds at 2.365 on Bet365

Our betting tip: is Shane Lowry to lead after 12 with odds at 2.45 on 1Xbet

Our last betting option: is Hole (1), Brooks Koepka wins with odds at 2.50 on Betway
