The real reason behind those tan lines
The pole vault star has a social media fanbase of more than 500,000 and amassed just under 2 million searches.
Its a close competition for third place, with Jon Rahms girlfriend Kelley Cahill, 23, sneaking in front thanks to her superior search record, despite racking up fewer than a thousand twitter followers.
That is significantly less than Dustin Johnsons fiancee Paulina Gretzky, 29, who finishes fourth despite amassing the largest social media fanbase, with more than 700,000 in total.
Finally, theres some good news for British golf fans as Paul Caseys wife Pollyanna Woodward- once seen in very little clothing on his phone case - makes the cut in an all-American leaderboard.
The TV presenter registered almost 200,000 google searches on top of her growing Twitter audience of nearly 10,000.
A smartbets.com spokesperson said: "If Wag popularity is anything to go by, Koepka will finish several shots clear of the chasing pack at Carnoustie this week."
