OAKMONT, Pa. – For a guy who’d found all manner of ways to lose a major, this was a stunningly new twist.
The man who can move a golf ball insanely long distances was drawn into a “he said, he said” with the USGA over a golf ball that nudged a fraction of an inch at the worst possible time on Sunday at the U.S. Open.
Did Dustin Johnson cause his ball to move as he prepared to putt on the fifth green?
Had he unwittingly run afoul of the rules, again, or were gravity and insanely fast greens to blame?
