After reminding the Northern Irishman he hasnt won a major any hint of a competition has shut down between him and Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy was already a important winner when Koepka turned into a full PGA Tour member in 2014, but has failed to add to the tally in the time that Koepka has won both PGA Championship and the US Open .
The set both registered three wins throughout their year, the American doesnt observe any kind of contest between them both, although at which McIlroy pipped Koepka to PGA Tour player of the year after winning the FedExCup for the time.
Ahead of his title defence in the CJ Cup, Koepka told AFP:I have been out for, what, five years. Rory hasnt won a major because Ive been around the PGA Tour. So I simply dont see it.
Im not looking at anybody behind me. Im No 1 in the world. I have got street that is open Im not appearing in the rear-view mirror. You know whether the fans do [call it a competition ]thats on them and it might be fun.
Look I adore Rory he is a fantastic player and he is fun to watch, but it is just hard to believe there is a rivalry in golf. I simply dont view it
Koepka got the better of McIlroy to acquire the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational at July, when the two were in the last pairing, until McIlroy gained revenge by winning the Tour Championship and its $15m jackpot.
The next tournament is your WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai from October 31-November 3.
