DJ's Masters miss leaves him on outside looking in at Augusta

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- This is the day to make fun of Dustin Johnson, right? This is the time to point out that some guys lose the Masters because of frayed nerves, a bad bounce, an unfortunate read of the greens.

Dustin Johnson? He's the only man alive who could lose the Masters because he was wearing socks instead of shoes on three wooden steps.

Really, the only surprising development here is that Johnson didn't slip on a banana peel discarded by his brother and caddie Austin, another easy target on tour. The Johnsons have long been cast in golf circles as the opposite of rocket scientists, whatever that is, and they've never seemed to take great offense to the labels.

But this is no laughing…
