Dustin Johnson Eyes First Masters Title
6 years agoEveryone knows of Dustin Johnson's long list of misfortune's in major championship events, but the big-hitting American is being somewhat overlooked entering Augusta. During his last four stroke-play events, Johnson has contributed three top-10 finishes, which includes a victory at the WGC-Mexico Championship. Of all the travails that the second-ranked player in the world has experienced in majors, the Masters probably has left the 34-year-old with the least amount of scar tissue. Sure, he suffered an embarrassing fall down his stairs in 2017 that forced him to withdraw before the tournament started, but if we exclude that moment, Johnson has found himself gradually improving at the event. Most of the headlines will be around Rory McIlroy and his quest for the career grand slam, and we like that Johnson is flying into the week overlooked. Johnson's game is peaking at the right time, and he has the luxury of playing without all the pressure that most of his main competitors are feeling.
