Golfing hell

Regardless of the fact he is a millionaire and soon to be married to Wayne Gretsky's daughter, you have to feel some of the pain Dustin Johnson experienced on the 72nd hole of the US Open yesterday.   Standing behind a 12 foot putt to win the Open outright, he lived every duffer's nightmare.   He missed the first putt for eagle, then missed the birdie that would have forced a playoff with Jordan Spieth, finally settling for par and a share of second place.  After missing many shots on the back nine, his chance for redemption went down like a $2.00 Nassau at my local course.  Still a young 31, he should have many chances in the future, but based on his past trials, he will probably be stuck with the title "Best player never to win a major", until he excises this latest demon.
