Moments after tapping in a par putt on the 18th hole at Erin Hills to win the U.S. Open, Brooks Koepka walked off the green and gave his girlfriend Jena Sims a kiss.
That's not an unusual occurrence at a golf event, but Sunday, FOX broadcaster Joe Buck identified Sims as Koepka's ex-girlfriend, professional soccer player Becky Edwards.
The error was corrected shortly thereafter, but not before Twitter had its fun.
Congrats to Brooks Koepka, but that's NOT Becky Edwards... #Fox #FakeNews

Correction on the telecast: Brooks Koepka’s girlfriend is NOT Becky Edwards; rather his NEW girlfriend is Jenna Sims (sp?).
