Stairs get another Johnson, this time DJ's brother/caddie

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – When it comes to PGA Tour housing, the Johnson brothers might want to start looking into one-story options.

It was two years ago that Dustin Johnson headed to the Masters as the presumptive favorite, only to withdraw ahead of the opening round because of a back injury sustained when he slipped and fell down some stairs at his rental house in Augusta. The injury led Johnson to miss nearly a month of action.

This week at the Valspar Championship it’s his brother and caddie, Austin, who’s suffering. Austin Johnson was sporting a black cast on his left wrist Tuesday on the driving range, and he added a sling while carrying the bag during Wednesday’s pro-am.
