Dustin Johnson, martin kaymer, bubba watson, rory mcilroy, nick watney
Dustin Johnson turned his pen on his head and started to wipe his dashboard. He had already given a major tournament inside a row. He by no means had the chance to finish it.
Johnson created the playoffs in PGA Championship was removed on Sunday right after he was penalized a couple of shots, his club has landed in a bunker, he was not aware existed. Rather than joining 71 to Martin Kaymer and Bubba Watson within the third playoff hole, he changed his score from a 5-7 along with a signature for your 73 to tie for fifth.
"I do not know if I can describe it," mentioned Johnson, who completed quickly, and was on his method to the parking lot just before Kaymer and Watson finished their very first hole. "If it had been me, I would have by no means concept that I was inside a bunker. But that may be not me."
It was the cruelest an crucial choice due to the fact Roberto de Vicenzo signed an accidentally greater score at the Masters in 1968 and also the victory went to Bob Goalby.
Moreover, a good sadness for Johnson. The 26-year-old was the leader in the third round at the U.S. Open, only for getting a complete collapse of the Sunday and shoot 82nd it was the highest score at the U.S. Open by a leader within the 54-hole Fred McLeod from 83 to Chicago Golf Club in 1911. It was Johnson's worst score being a professional.
He insisted he did not drag the collapse, and Pebble Beach seemed the last thing on his mind at Whistling Straits. After he was in a 12-footer for birdie over a par-3 17th rolled, he was the undisputed leader, a smaller amount than half an hour of redemption.
However, his tee on a 18th sailed into the gallery on a correct side with the fairway, landing in a small patch of sand that were trampled on, kicked and trampled by thousands of fans from the past week.
