How did Dustin Johnson meet his beautiful partner?
The parents of Paulina, Wayne, and Janet loved golf, and they both were avid players. In 2011 Janet played with Johnson in Sherwood in the pro-am at Tiger’s tournament. She told the former no.1 about her daughter and invited him for dinner.
Paulina was sure that DJ rolled his eyes upon receiving the invitation because she rolled her eyes, too. She said, “I’m sure he was rolling his eyes, and so was I when my mom invited me over.”
