Brooks Koepka played unreal golf on Friday at the Masters.

Kopeka scored a 7-under 65 in Thursday’s first round. The star golfer followed that up with an incredible 5-under 67 second-round performance.

Koepka holed in three birdies and nailed an eagle on hole No. 8. On the tournament, he’s holed 11 birdies, one eagle, and just one bogey.

His performance has drawn attention from all over, as you might expect after such an insane performance. Especially when you consider that Brooks Kopeka is a LIV golfer and not on the PGA Tour anymore.

“Leader at #themasters,” Your Golf Travel posted.

The Fore Play Pod was ecstatic.

 

“No bogeys is crazy lol dude was in his bag today,” podcaster ndotdiab posted.

“This feels so spicy to ee posted by the PGA. Good on ya,” one fan said.

Brooks Koepka finished second in the 2019 Masters Tournament to the great Tiger Woods. Thus far in his celebrated career, that’s the closest that he’s gotten to the legendary and elusive green jacket.

He’s no stranger to PGA Major championships though. Koepka has recorded four wins at majors in his career: Two at the PGA Championship (2018, 2019) and two at the U.S. Open (2017, 2018).

He finds himself in an incredible position right now with two rounds remaining. Amateur U.S. golfer Sam Bennett and the great Jon Rahm trail Koepka by four strokes with scores of 8-under. Rahm, though, still has an entire back nine and the ninth hole on the front remaining.
