(Reuters) - Brooks Koepka may not have had the ideal tune-up for next week's U.S. Open but the four-times major champion said on Friday his missed cut at the Palmetto Championship at Congaree is more to do with a lack of focus than the state of his game.

World number eight Koepka, in his first event since a runner-up finish at last month's PGA Championship, carded a two-over-par 73 in the second round in Ridgeland, South Carolina, that left him at three over on the week.
