The reconstruction came after Koepka suffered an undisclosed accident during a fall at his Florida home. He recovered so quickly that it even surprised the doctor, and played in the Masters three weeks after surgery.
“I’ve never seen anybody be able to do what he did,” said ElAttrache, team physician for the Rams and Dodgers. “On one hand, I’m extremely proud and impressed that he did that.

Koepka missed the cut at the Masters in 2022, finished 55th at the PGA and U.S. Open, and missed the cut at the British Open.
