Dustin appeared on a podcast recently, namely Spittin Chicklets, which is sponsored by Barstool. One of the members revealed an amazing fact relating to Austin. He said, “I think Wayne was telling me that your brother, who’s your caddy would have been 28 on the money list last year if he was considered a golfer. So I was like, fu**, Dustin must have had a pretty good goddamn year.”
To which the golf professional replied in a funny way. He replied, “Yeah. A decent year. I don’t know who figured that out, but I think someone figured out that he would placed pretty well.” Looks like Dustin earned well with just two wins last year.
It definitely pays off to be @DJohnsonPGA’s brother.
