Dustin Johnson Tournament History
2009 World Golf Championship - CA Championship |
12-15 March 2009 - Doral Golf and Spa Resort - Phil Mickelson won his first World Golf Championships title on Sunday at the CA Championship, where he held off Nick Watney to take the title by one stroke and his 36th career victory. However this was perhaps not the most news worthy story of the week. During his opening round, Henrik Stenson thought it a good idea to play from out of the water! After stripping down to his boxer shorts the Swede preceded to do just this. And it was down to PGA Tour photographer Kyle Auclair to capture this magical moment. With the world’s best golf photographers trailing Tiger Woods, Kyle decided he was going to follow other players instead. Little did he know this particular sequence of images would be plastered on newspapers, websites and television shows all over the country the next day. |
In Dustin Johnson's bag...Dustin threw his chances of glory away on Sunday this week. After carding a stunning 66 in the second round and getting into contention going in to the last day, a round of 76 sent him flying in the other direction. He would have been looking to secure a top-10 this week but instead a 76 in the final round left him in a tie for 35th. This is a cracking photo of Dustin’s bag this week. We can clearly see the clubs that he was using. There is a TaylorMade Burner Tour TP driver and TaylorMade Burner Tour Launch Fairways. His irons were TaylorMade Tour Preferred (we snapped him with RAC TP’s last year). Finally, hiding under the irons is a TaylorMade Z TP wedge.
