“#Defending Masters champ Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka miss cut<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

AUGUSTA, Ga. \u2014 This was not the title defense Dustin Johnson had planned. The Masters defending champion failed to secure a Saturday tee time at Augusta National.<\/p>\n

Five months after winning the Masters in a record-setting 20-under in November, Johnson missed the cut, shooting 75 on Friday. After an opening-round 74, that left him 5-over, two clear of the cutline and 12 strokes behind leader Justin Rose.<\/p>\n

Johnson bogeyed three of his final four holes Friday, including the last two.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot very good,\u2019\u2019 he said afterward, blaming his putter for the bad week. \u201cSix three-putts in two rounds, you just can\u2019t do that. The three-putts killed me. Obviously, I wanted to be around for the weekend.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Johnson has to stick around because he\u2019ll be putting the green jacket on the next champion on Sunday. He\u2019ll just have a lot more free time than he planned on.<\/p>\n

Another one of the big names who won\u2019t play the weekend is Brooks Koepka, who played only three weeks removed from surgery on his right knee. Koepka missed the cut for the first time at the Masters and was ticked off about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow disapp<\/a>ointed do you think I am?\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cI worked my ass off just to get here, and then to play like this is pretty disappointing.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Like Johnson, Koepka lamented his putting, saying, \u201cPutter was ice cold, didn\u2019t make any putts.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked about his knee, he said: \u201c[Thursday] was the first day walking 18, so you\u2019re obviously a little sore and all that stuff. I thought [Friday] \u2026 I don\u2019t feel as sore as I did [Thursday], so I feel better.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expect to see Koepka playing for a while now, as he\u2019ll surely rest and rehab the knee for the PGA Championship in May.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have been playing for another month if it wasn\u2019t [the Masters] this week,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cSo, I\u2019ll take a nice long break after this. I\u2019ll get ready for the PGA. I won\u2019t miss it, I know that, but it\u2019s tough to say if I\u2019ll play anything before that.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n
