Narrative:
I was rolling out in landing in a small aircraft when the left wheel brake locked the wheel. The aircraft started veering left and I applied full right rudder and brake to avoid ground loop. Unfortunately, the propeller contacted the pavement. Found mechanical failure of left brake that just had been repaired.
