AUGUSTA, Ga. — Episode 2 of Netflix's golf documentary 'Full Swing' is, in a word, depressing. It follows the travails of Brooks Koepka at the 2022 Masters where, presumably, the producers of the series expected him to be a contender.
Brooks Koepka watches his tee shot on the 18th hole during the first round of the Masters golf tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday, April 6, 2023, in Augusta, Ga. AUGUSTA, Ga. — Episode 2 of Netflix’s golf documentary “Full Swing” is, in a word, depressing. It follows the travails of Brooks Koepka at the 2022 Masters where, presumably, the producers of the series expected him to be a contender.
“I tried to put it back in and that's when I shattered my kneecap and during the process tore my MPFL,” he explained. “I have to figure out how to get the f— out of this thing before it’s too late,” he said at one point in the episode.In Thursday’s Round 1 of the Masters, Koepka looked like the major killer of old, carding eight birdies to a single bogey to card a 7-under 65 and plant himself atop the leaderboard in a three-way tie with Viktor Hovland and Jon Rahm. Koepka did it with power, he did it with precision, just like he used to.
"I just practice before the majors," he said."Regular tournaments, I don't practice. If you see me on TV, that's when I play golf." The only way to secure an invite is to play well this weekend or at any of the three remaining majors on the schedule. Translation: if the majors carried importance before, now it’s turned up to 11 for Koepka .
