Dustin Johnson is the 2016 U.S. Open Champion.
Dustin Johnson's physical gifts have never been in dispute, but sometimes it seems like everything else is.
In a scene reminiscent of the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, Johnson wound up in another rules dustup at the 116th U.S. Open at Oakmont on Sunday. But he played so well it didn't matter, beating Jim Furyk (66), Scott Piercy (69) and third-round leader Shane Lowry (76).
"Luckily it didn't affect the outcome," Johnson said. He laughed. "It's just one more thing to add to the list, right?"
Johnson birdied the par-4 18th hole to ice it, and after the round he was given a one-stroke penalty for his ball having moved as he addressed it on the fifth green. The penalty stroke, while controversial, was a moot point as Johnson's 69 and his four-under total was still good for a three-shot win.
