When Brooks Koepka went under the knife on March 16 to deal with a kneecap dislocation and ligament damage, it didn't seem like there was any chance he would be able to hit the links for the 2021 Masters this week. However, Koepka arrived in Augusta on Sunday to get in some practice, and the 30-year-old plans to play in the tournament.
Sunday night, Koepka took to Twitter to respond to skeptics who thought he would be out months with his injury. Naturally, he channeled his inner Michael Jordan:

Brooks Koepka suffered the injury in early March while with his family. He slipped and required his kneecap to be put into place, but it wasn't long before Koepka was back out on the range trying to get ready for the Masters.
“Seven days out of surgery, I was hitting balls. I don't think anybody expected this. I didn't know,” he said. “The goal was to play Augusta and so we were going to see if we could play. … We were hopeful we were going to be here. A couple of bad days or anything like that it could set you back quite a while.
