Definitely Brooks Koepka”, replied Chadd Mumm. The second episode of the Netflix docu-series was solely dedicated to the recent struggles of the Koepka. Though the golfer is regarded as a strong player both mentally and physically, he did share his battles of mental warfare to get back to his old form. “It’s like a wrestling heel”, says the producer while referring to the golfer’s public persona.

However, Mumm further adds, “But he came in and sat down and was just so open and vulnerable about what he was going through, you know, injuries and his game and how much he wanted to be back there winning and how much that meant to him”. The producer also talked about how Brooks Koepka disclosed his sleepless nights thinking about an imaginary club in his hand.

After seeing Brooks’ up close, Chadd Mumm claims the experience was ‘shocking’ and ‘really, really compelling stuff’. Nonetheless, Koepka has moved to LIV Golf, to restart his once glittering career. Though Spiranac didn’t have much to respond to the producer, everyone who watched ‘Full Swing’ must have felt the same about Koepka.
