Dustin and Sunday have a rough history. If he can avoid it all together, it gets done...hmm.

Good for him, though.

Every player played today as a final round ... I don't know if I'd say DJ crossed a small hump of sorts but he did what he had to do on the clear final day of a tournament.

The only hump DJ need to get over is winning a major. This wasn't a major.

I agree whole-heartedly ... but I think a couple posters are hinting that today was a like a "sneak-win" where the Sunday (pressure-filled) round was canceled w/o warning. Not the case here.

He proved at the BMW he can win (even though he'd proved that previously) and he's been struggling this season with new equipment. I wouldn't bet against him. Then again I wouldn't bet a lot on him either. He is who he is.

He came so close at The British. I think wins like these will only get him closer to that major win.

I like DJ and think he is a very talented golfer but this win wasn't very big in my eyes. It was a 3 day tournament on a course that gave up a lot of low scores today so if DJ hit decent tee shots he had a very good chance of winning. I was actually more surprised Kuchar didn't shoot a lower score with the easy conditions. Kuchar stumbled a bit today and DJ took advantage of it with a great round but I wouldn't say it's a major step for him. However I'm the first one to say that a win is a win no matter how you look at it so congrats DJ.

As topspin said, all the players left knew it was the final round. But only thing to away from Dustin Johnson was that playing under par for 54 holes is one less day to get mentally worn out.

So if one of the 2012 majors will be on 3 days, ladies and gents, we have a winner! :D

Dustin Johnson now up to a career high 4th in the world. This means the top 4 in the world ranking have a combined 0 majors between them.

When a player records 19 under par for 3 rounds I think you have to question the Course.
To me it is clearly not long enough for these pros, it looked more like a pitch and putt course!

I liked the length and some of the holes were great especially the drivable 18th. What allowed them to go so low was the wet conditions if they would have been able to firm up the greens the scores would have been higher.

Dustin Johnson seriously has to be the most up and down golfer in the PGA, everyone was so hyped about Mcilroy when he finally won, but seriously DJ has had some pretty serious tournaments this year, and many outstanding rounds, I think I would pick DJ over Rory, what do you guys think?

" I think I would pick DJ over Rory, what do you guys think?"

DJ is a fantastic player, and he and Rory look pretty close in ability right now, but Rory is 5 years younger. I fully expect Rory to have the better career by far.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas · Posted

      Yeah, let's just ignore that there were only 5-10 great players back then… 🤣 Ha ha ha. Whatever you guys have to tell yourselves… Tiger won MAJORS 22 years apart. That's a long time. He wasn't missing the top ten on the money list because he sucked, it's because he didn't play due to injuries.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Pretty accurate.  Another way you can look at it is how many years was Jack top 10 on the money list. It used to be the list that mattered, nothing else came close. Jack was top 10 from 1962-1978 and then once more in 1983 making 18 years total. He had another 4 inside the top 20. He was #1 8 times.  Tiger was top 10 from 1997-2009, 2012-2013, and 2018 which is 16 times total. His next best were 24th and 38th in 2019-2020. He was #1 10 times.  Honestly, they're both pretty long but Jack has quite a few more seasons in the upper ranks. Makes sense when Tiger barely played in 2010-2011 and then again from 2015-2017, and pretty much 2020 onwards. That's not an excuse for Tiger though.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Played three and a half rounds in England last week. I will not be playing more than maybe 4 rounds on any one course. Probably only about 20 rounds all year and between 4 and 8 of those will be alternate shot, so don't really count. Off to a pretty good start though. Three and a half rounds gave me 5 birdies and an eagle (with two of those birdies being on the same hole number).

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      First round of 2026. No birdies and a very pedestrian 86. Maybe I should have hit a few balls over the past 100 days. Next year!
