[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The coach of Brooks Koepka (USA), ranked 3rd in the world, is recovering from COVID-19.

Pete Cowen (England) candidly told local media on the 9th (Korean time), "I am recovering from COVID-19," adding, "It was painfully terrible." He warned, "No matter how young or healthy you are, you can still catch COVID-19." He is 69 years old this year. The manager of the golf academy run by Cowen posted on Instagram, "Cowen is almost fully recovered and is gradually regaining his strength," and "He will return to work soon."

Cowen is a swing expert who coaches Koepka, Gary Woodland (USA), Henrik Stenson (Sweden), and Graeme McDowell (Northern Ireland). Last month, he experienced symptoms of COVID-19 and was hospitalized but has been receiving treatment in self-isolation at home. Notably, he attended the PGA Tour's "The Players Championship," known as the "fifth major," which was canceled after only the first round on the 13th of last month, where he met Koepka and Woodland, drawing attention.
