Joe Buck calls Brooks Koepka's girlfriend the wrong name in awkward U.S. Open moment
Somewhere there’s a Fox Sports researcher who wants to get away.
In an awkward but funny moment, Joe Buck saw a woman kiss Brooks Koepka after he won the 2017 U.S. Open in record-tying fashion. The Fox Sports announcer identified the woman as Becky Edwards, a pro soccer player who used to be in a relationship with Koepka after both attended Florida State.

The only problem? That wasn’t Becky, but rather Koepka’s new girlfriend: Jena Sims, a fledgling actress (you’ll see her in Sharknado 5 this year) and former MIss Teen USA. Buck was quickly corrected on his mistake, but not before making sure Koepka reaches for the remote whenever he and Jena watch a replay of the biggest moment of his golfing career.

Gotta say: The last person we ever expected to hear a “well, actually” from was Brad Faxon.
Now in their third year of broadcasting the U.S. Open, Buck and the Fox Sports crew actually had a pretty good tournament, worlds better than their debut at Chambers Bay in 2015.
But the simple slipup left Twitter tittering as the broadcast came to a close.
Lol Fox. Identifies Brooks Koepka's girlfriend…comes back minute later, says "That is actually his new girlfriend". Sucks for the old GF.

Say what you want about CBS, there's zero chance Nantz would have gotten Koepka's girlfriend's name wrong

Wow. Brooks Koepka wins the US Open and changes girlfriends between the final hole and the clubhouse. That's impressive.

"That's actually Brooks Koepka's new girlfriend."
Greatest Joe Buck quote ever. #USOpen

As Buck quickly found out, the world of golfer WAGs (wives and girlfriends) can be an ever-changing and confusing place. Here’s betting he’s working off an updated flowchart at Shinnecock Hills next June.
