Dustin Johnson finally has his first Major Championship…a goal that has eluded and haunted him for years.

History shows that for Dustin, until this past Sunday, it seemed that when everything was going right in a Major Championship, something would inevitably go wrong…whether it was bad shots, bad decisions, bad luck or rules snafus. At Oakmont on Sunday, even one of the biggest rules fiascos we have ever witnessed could not stop him…it was his time…he so deserved it. There is a lot to like about Dustin Johnson…over the last couple of years he has truly become a new man. And by the way, this will not be DJ’s only Major Championship…it will be the first of many.
