Biography
Dustin Hunter Johnson was born on the 22nd June 1984, in Columbia, South Carolina and played collegiate golf at Coastal Carolina University. As an amateur, he won the Monroe Invitational and the Northeast Amateur in 2007 and played on the winning 2007 Walker Cup and Palmer Cup teams.
Dustin turned professional in 2007 and earned his 2008 PGA Tour card by finishing in a tie for 14th place in the 2007 qualifying school.
He won his first PGA Tour event in October 2008 at the Turning Stone Resort Championship. He won his second event 4 months later at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am,. This tournament was shortened to 54 holes when the final round was cancelled due to strong winds and heavy rain, leaving Dustin the winner by four strokes over Mike Weir and five strokes over second round leader Retief Goosen, who shot a third round 2 over par 74. Dustin finished the 2009 season ranked 15th on the PGA Tour money list.
In February 2010, Dustin birdied the final hole to defeat former world number one David Duval to successfully defend his AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am title.
Dustin continued his Pebble Beach success by shooting 71-70-66 to take a three shot lead over Graeme McDowell at the 2010 U.S. Open, but scored a disappointing 82 in the final round and finished Tied 8th.
In the final round of the 2010 PGA Championship, he held a one-shot lead entering the final hole. He appeared to have bogeyed the hole, which would have tied him for first and entered him into a three-hole playoff with Bubba Watson and Martin Kaymer. However, he famously received a two-stroke penalty for grounding his club in a bunker, thereby dropping him to a tie for fifth place.
