Dustin Johnson could have been winning his first main title in the PGA championship in 2010.
Dustin Johnson saw a possible victory in the PGA championship in a moment by breaking a base. This year's championship reaches its peak, and at this stage of 2010, Johnson only required the final hole in the strand of the strait to secure the victory over Martin Kimer, Buba Watson.
Although many expected the 40 -year -old golf star to conclude the deal per day, the fate had other plans. Johnson began the last hole with a harmful shot that flew to the right of the corridor before landing in a sandy area.
Despite the presence of the sand in the vicinity of the ball, Johnson believed it was a “waste area”, which would allow his club to become on the ground while preparing for its second shot. However, a unique base for this year means that every sand correction in the course should have been played as a risk instead.
As a result of the establishment of his club in an area that was considered a warehouse, Johnson has an unknown manner got a two -stroke penalty. Johnson was absent, with his own violation, he missed a hall and scored a ghost, as his attention turned into a failed match.
However, PGA officials rushed to highlight the mistake of almost his ways immediately after he got his grades, which means that Johnson was not only the title, but also outside the match with Kaymer and Watson. Speaking of the accident, Johnson said: “I thought I was on a piece of dirt that the crowd had landed.
“I never thought I was in a sandy trap. I never went beyond my mind that I was in a hideout. It is clear that I know the rules of the golf and I could not wear my club in a hideout, but this was just one position I think.
“Maybe I should look at the bases leaf a little more difficult.” Johnson had a lot of warnings about sand spots, given that events organizers made the farthest to notify the players.
A note has also been shown in the cabinet room that says: “All the areas of the cycle that were designed and built will be played as sandy bakes as risks (risks), whether it has been dried or not. This means that many warehouses that are placed outside the rope, in addition to some areas that are operated inside the series, will likely, the numerical championship that prints it will include.
“Such violations of the surface are part of the game and there will be no free comfort of these conditions.” Ultimately, Keimer won the championship in 2010 after winning Watson victory over the tenth, seventeenth and eighteenth holes – he won his first main title in this process.
Meanwhile, Johnson settled for the completion of the T5 alongside Jason Duffner and Steve Elkington with a total of nine strokes behind Kaymer and Watson. So far, a professional born in South Carolina is still tasteful in the PGA championship, with his best in 2019.

Then he claimed the second in the Master of 2020 in Ugusta National, where he ended five IM Sung-Jae and Cameron SMITH at 20 years. With a total of 24 wins on the PGA tour, Johnson Walaa Lev Golf in June 2022.
