AUGUSTA, Ga. – It was a trip of a lifetime for Brooks Koepka when his father brought him to Augusta National as a youngster to attend the Masters.
Koepka remembers walking down the first fairway and getting blown away by the elevation changes and being able to stand so close to players. And the autographs, he collected so many autographs. Except one.
Koepka said he was standing by the old Tournament practice area and asked Phil Mickelson for an autograph.
“Probably about the only kid Phil's ever turned down,” Koepka said with a smile on Tuesday at Augusta National.
