54-hole lead remains a major problem for Dustin Johnson:

Dustin Johnson was the leader going into the final round of the PGA Championship and posted a 68 on Sunday (7th August 2020). The 36-year-old led heading into the last round of a major tournament for the fourth time, and it was the fourth time he failed to complete the deal. Johnson finished three strokes behind winner Collin Morikawa after shooting a two-under 68 on a Sunday ripe for red numbers.

It was his third runner-up in his previous eight major attempts, along with a T-3. They don’t, however, provide awards to those who come close to winning. Johnson is now 0 for 4 in major final rounds after capturing at least a share of the lead. Johnson led by one stroke at 9 under par on Saturday and was minus-10 at the turn. However, he failed to birdie the par-5 10th hole, three-putting from 17 feet, after the majority of the field had done so.

He had fallen behind by a stroke by the time he reached No. 14, courtesy to Morikawa’s chip-in just moments before. Morikawa, on the other hand, drove the green on the par-4 16th and made his eagle putt, and it was a race for second from there. On Saturday, two-time reigning champion Brooks Koepka mocked him for his lone major victory, saying he felt confident going into the final round because “DJ’s only won one.” Rory McIlroy defended Johnson, pointing out that he had 21 career victories versus Koepka’s seven.
