Dustin Johnson had a phenomenal week at Whistling Straits. Not only was he a major contributor to the record-breaking score of 19-9, but he also set a personal best for himself! Johnson remained unbeaten through the event and ended with a perfect score of 5-0-0.
Opening up on his thoughts of the mind-blowing score, Johnson said, “I did not expect 5-0-0, that’s for sure. But I didn’t really expect to play five matches… obviously, got off to a good start and had some good partnerships there with Collin and Xander, so Captain just kept us rolling.”
