‘Makes Me Feel Good About My Swing’: Golf Fans Have the Last Laugh As Dustin Johnson Suffers An Epic Fail At $25,000,000 LIV Event

Dustin Johnson is currently competing at the sixth event of the LIV Golf season in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The defectors are competing for a whopping $25 million purse. DJ who is still awaiting his first win this season, is certainly looking to grab the $4 million winner’s check. But on the event’s first day, his unfortunate human moment may have just pushed him a bit further away from it!

Playing at Cedar Ridge Country Club during the first round, Johnson was as usual setting fire to the course when, to his surprise, he faltered, resulting in an epic fail that fans instantly began trolling him for.

Dustin Johnson sees an unfortunate mishap in Tulsa

The first day of the Tulsa event ended on a good note for the 38-year-old golfer. Johnson shot 63, a 7-under par, and is now only two strokes behind the leader Branden Grace in a tie for second after the first round. And although things ended well for the golf pro, it wasn’t all a blast!

During the round, at one point, Johnson was trying to make a shot onto the greens when something unexpected happened—he shanked it. As soon as he hit it, the ball soared into the air at a 45-degree angle to the right, straight outside the ropes. Flushing It shared the video of the wayward strike on Instagram, and ironically, it was a hit! After all, it is a rare sight to see some of the best golfers hitting a shank.

Captioning the video, the page wrote, “DJ reminding us all that even the best can hit a Tom Hanks (Shank) every now and then. He’s still only 1 shot back though. Shanks for coming! 🤣”

The video of the mishit left the fans cracking up, and they flocked to the post with hilarious comments. And sadly for him, they left no stone unturned in trolling the golf pro!

Fortunately, that shot was far from defining his first round. And perhaps, had it not been for it, he would have been in the lead. But that didn’t stop the fans. DJ’s human moment on the course went viral within minutes! Many had a good laugh looking at Johnson’s epic failed shot and didn’t shy away at all from publicly dissing him for it!

A fan thought that describing Shank as Tom Hank was hilarious and posted a comment, “A Tom Hanks? 🤣 using that on my next round.”

One fan hilariously blamed Johnson’s shorts for the shot: “Must be the shorts ?” 

Looking at the video, a fan could not control their laughter, “😂😂😂”

A fan took a jibe at the golfer and wrote, “Yesssss makes me feel good about my swing.”

A fan renamed the whole round and commented, “Shankadelic round after that.”
