(CNN)It's been a long time coming, but finally Brooks Koepka is a winner again. Having dealt with debilitating injuries for 18 months which have hampered his ability to take to the golf course, the four-time major winner hit a final-round 65 to win the PGA Tour's Phoenix Open by a shot over Xander Schauffele and Kyoung-Hoon Lee on Sunday. Koepka made two eagles to overcome a five-shot deficit, going five-under for the last six holes to claim his first win since the FedEx St. Jude Invitational in 2019. And after returning to winning ways, Koepka admitted that there were points during his recovery period where he even began to doubt whether he'd make a comeback. "There was a period maybe for about two months where I just questioned whether I was ever going to be the same," the 30-year-old, who has struggled with knee and hip injuries, said after winning his second Phoenix Open as he broke a run of three straight missed cuts.
