IT'S HARD TO WIN A MAJOR, even when you're as talented as World No. 1 Dustin Johnson. And especially when the major is the Masters, the one Dustin wanted the most.
On Sunday, Johnson finally got a monkey off his back and a Green Jacket draped over his broad shoulders.
Going into the final round with at least a 4-shot lead over a handful of players lacking Masters experience, DJ was 0 for 4 as a 54-hole leader at a major. (He won his one major championship, the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont, coming from behind.)
After a couple early hiccups, this time Johnson got it done with a closing 68 and set the Masters scoring record in the process -- 20 under par -- shattering the 18-under mark set by Tiger Woods in 1997 and matched by Jordan Spieth in 2015.
