Dustin Johnson Goes From 1 Shot Behind to Scrambling to Make the U.S. Open Cut
A quadruple bogey on the 15th left Dustin Johnson below the projected cut line after he was one shot off the lead earlier in the round.
- On Friday, Dustin Johnson collapsed at the U.S. Open, falling from one shot behind to 11 shots back after four holes at Shinnecock Hills. A quadruple-bogey on the 15th hole sent him tumbling below the projected cut line.
- Misfortune began on the 11th hole when a gust knocked his tee shot into the right bunker, leading to a double bogey. Persistent difficulties with Shinnecock Hills' bunkers hampered Johnson throughout the round.
- Johnson posted an eight on the 15th hole after his ball sailed over the green following bunker shots. He said of the bunker difficulties, "It's the ones you can't see. Obviously, the big ones on top you can move them."
- After losing eight strokes across five holes, Johnson finished with a 77 and stood at 3-over 143, scrambling to avoid missing the cut. He remained in danger of not making the weekend.
- Competing in the last year of his 2016 Oakmont exemption, Johnson expressed optimism: "A couple of good days, I can get back in the mix." His LIV Golf absence had made this Open run particularly significant.
