Fans react to Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm's epic finale moments

Brooks Koepka, who was leading the table before round four, kind of lost his touch in the last round. Experts say it could be because of him not being used to playing 72 holes tournaments (since LIV has 54 holes tournaments).

Jon Rahm, on the other hand, started in his 'rampage' mode to take a massive lead by the end of the fourth round. He ended his campaign with a -12 score, four shots more than second-ranked LIV golfers Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson.

However, on The Masters Twitter page's tweet, fans reacted to the epic finale battle between Koepka and Rahm. The latter received massive wishes and praise for his incredible performance.

"LET’S GO RAHM"
"2 shot lead for Rahm"
"@TheMasters Somebody’s about to get #Rhamd"
"Go Rahm!!!!"
"Go on Johhhhnnnnnn"
"Cmon J.R."

"Vamooooos Jon!!!"

"Let’s go Rahmbo!"
"As much as I want a close match. I do not want anyone associated with liv golf winning. That would be bad for the PGA and for golf. Nothing worse then a bunch of over paid athletes not earning there check."

Brooks Koepka saw fans criticizing his fourth-round play. Fans felt he is not used to golfing on a 72-hole course.

"Lol brooks not used to golfing 72 and it shows lmao"
"It's not over, come on Koepka!"
"Koepka hasn't played under this type of pressure for a long time. Never mind playing 4 rounds he will succumb to the pressure. Sorry, Brooksy..."
"I bet Koepka wishes he could play in a 54 hole Masters like on the LIV tour"
"KOEPKA BOTTLING"

However, the post also saw fans criticizing the broadcasters of Masters 2023. They wrote several comments,

"The Color guys should be mentioning Sam Bennett ,a fantastic performance. The star of the very near future!!"
"Just out here watching CBS coverage and see this before brooks hit his putt lol"
"Hey CBS, is Bennett still playing? I guess he's not such a great story anymore."
"I’ve seen more missed putts on tv then LIV golfers shots"
"2nd tee 3 groups on the hole??? Who is running the masters this year?? Can’t control pace of play with twosomes??? Coverage is brutal!!! Can cbs show any less golf???"

In the end, The Masters 2023 was Jon Rahm's memorandum. He captured his first green jacket. This tournament win is also his second major win.
