Only one World Golf Championship had eluded Dustin Johnson to this point in his career, but he erased that omission in his CV with a 1-up victory over a gallant Jon Rahm to claim the WGC–Dell Technologies Match Play in Texas.
The idea, somewhat similar to a 2011 proposal from Ping’s chairman John A. Solheim, would be to tailor golf balls to golfers or courses so golfers with different distance capabilities could play together from the same tees or compete on certain courses that would play more true to their original heritage for today’s longer hitters.
We didn’t think the European Tour could top its series of humorous videos involving a kid reporter interviewing some of golf’s biggest names. But a new video of a fake reporter interviewing some of golf’s biggest names might be even better.
Call it the Dustin Johnson Rule. Overnight the R&A and USGA announced the introduction of a new local rule that effectively rescinds the penalty applied when a ball is accidentally moved on the putting green. The new rule will be available to committees in charge of competitions from January 1, 2017.
