Dustin Johnson pulled his tee shot into the left rough on No. 9 Friday afternoon, leaving himself 114 yards to the hole. The problem? He was directly behind a tree and would have to risk snapping his club if he wanted to advance the ball to the green.

That was a risk Johnson was willing to take.

He grabbed a wedge and swung away. As his club rattled off the tree in front of him, the golf ball somehow advanced over the green into the greenside rough.
