Brooks Koepka shares gruesome details of nightmare knee injury after flying Masters start

Brooks Koepka has given gruesome details of his horror knee injury - and revealed he was confident of his recovery because his surgeon also operated on Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady.

The former world No. 1 won four majors in 2018 and 2019 but then suffered two years of injury hell. The LIV Golf star claimed he is fit at the Masters for the first time since his runner-up finish in 2019 before the first major of the season.

And the American showed he is back to his old best with his lowest ever round of 65 at Augusta to share the first-round lead with Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland. In his post-round press conference, Koepka talked about his run of injuries which started with a torn patella tendon in August 2019, a hip injury in 2020 and a horrific injury to his knee cap and patella tendon in March 2021.
