For most of the Masters weekend, Brooks Koepka looked like he was on his way to winning his first-ever green jacket.

Entering the final round, Koepka had a two-stroke lead on eventual champion Jon Rahm. Instead of cementing the victory, Koepka collapsed. He shot a final-round 75 and opened the door for a commanding victory for Rahm.

One bettor seemed to see the forest for the trees with Koepka’s Masters’ chances. That or this person was just really lucky.

As part of a $60,000 parlay, a bettor cashed out $15,000 on Koepka winning the Masters when he still held the lead at the end of the third round. Given the subsequent events, it was truly impeccable timing:

Koepka ended up tied for second alongside fellow LIV golfer Phil Mickelson.
