Upcoming star and Overachiever. Already with twelve he was able to embrace a basketball with one hand and dunking with out any effort. Dustin Hunter Johnson was born on June 22, 1984 in Columbia, South Carolina und decided in a basketball playing family that he wanted to play college golf. 2007 he won several tournaments as an Amateur, played successfully in the Walker-Cup-Team, decided to go professional and earned his 2008 PGA Tour card by finishing in a tie for 14th place in the qualifying school. The career of the 1, 93 meter tall roll model athlete is impressive.
He was victorious on the PGA Tour event, the Turning Stone Resort Championship in 2008, the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am2009 and 2010.as well as the BMW Championship in 2010. His last victory was the third FedEx Cup playoff event; this victory was particular important breaking his streak of bad luck, that marked the US Open and the PGA Championship for him.
At the 2010 U.S. Open, Johnson continued to take a three shot lead over Graeme McDowell but scored a disappointing 82 in the final round. And at Kaymer’s first major-triumph he held a one-shot lead entering the final hole; however, he received a two-stroke penalty for grounding his club in a bunker, thereby dropping him to a tie for fifth place. Johnson, who is already being discussed as a future star in the USA, learned out of his experiences, which he proved in 2011 by three Top-10 placements.
