AUGUSTA, Ga. – After rushing back to play the Masters, Brooks Koepka was headed home early.
With rounds of 74-75 at Augusta National, Koepka missed the cut to end a streak of 24 consecutive made cuts in the majors. He was at 5-over 149, two shots above the cut line.
“How disappointed do you think I am?” he said afterward. “I worked my ass off just to get here, and then to play like this is pretty disappointing.”
Koepka underwent surgery last month after dislocating his kneecap during what he said was a “freak accident.” Typically, that injury requires a six-month rehabilitation, but Koepka was back inside the ropes less than a month later.
