Dustin Johnson Kicks Off 2018 By Absolutely Destroying The Best Players In The World In Hawaii
The no. 1 player in the world doing no. 1 player in the world things. DJ wins by 8 against a field comprised exclusively of 2017 PGA Tour winners. With the year Justin Thomas had last year, we oft forget how en fuego DJ was. He won three tourneys in a row leading up to the Masters and was the favorite going in before falling, hurting his back, and withdrawing. He said recently that he lost 5-6 months due to that.
Well I think he’s back. Here’s the top-10.
DJ is one of few guys on the planet whose A-game we consider virtually unbeatable… and he was armed to the teeth with his A-game this weekend.
He separated himself with the big stick, driving two par-4s on the back nine alone today including this missile to a couple inches.
He eagled the 433-yard par-4 12th in both the third and fourth rounds. Impressive.
DJ’s won on Tour at least once in 11 straight seasons. This is his 17th win on Tour, the same number as likely Hall Of Famer Jim Furyk, who’s 14 years his senior.
Shoutout to Trent’s girl looking GOOD this week.
And to Jon Rahm really bringing the fire this year.
The guys stay in Hawaii for the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club next week, then it’s over to Cali for the West Coast swing. Tiger tees it up in 18 days.
2018 golf baby, here we go.
