There are numerous active PGA Tour golfers who have one major. But no one with a career like Dustin Johnson.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old already has 21 wins on the PGA Tour<\/a>, including the fifth-longest streak as number one in the world.<\/p>\n A second major immortalizes Johnson as one of the all-time great golfers.<\/p>\n This is @DJohnsonPGA<\/a>‘s fourth 54-hole lead\/co-lead in a major.<\/p>\n His 3 previous finishes:<\/p>\n 2018 U.S. Open (3rd) \u2014 PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) August 9, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n “I’m going to just try and go out and shoot as low as I can tomorrow just like I did today,” Johnson said. “All I can control is myself.”<\/p>\n Dustin Johnson isn’t a stranger to being in contention at majors. He’s held the 54-hole lead three times previously: 2010, 2015, and 2018 U.S. Opens. But all three instances, Johnson never claimed victory.<\/p>\n In 2010, Johnson shot 82 in his final round. That one can be chalked up to lack of experience being in the mix on Sunday at a major.<\/p>\n At Chambers Bay in 2015, Johnson infamously missed a par putt on the 72nd hole that gave Jordan Spieth the title. It cast doubt, on whether someone of Johnson’s talent, could capture major championship glory.<\/p>\n It took Johnson winning the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, a year after his collapse in 2015, to silence the critics. Winning a major is difficult, getting back in the winner’s circle even more challenging.<\/p>\n “I definitely have experience in this situation that definitely will help tomorrow,” Johnson said. “I’ve been in the hunt a bunch of times in a major. I’ve got one major, so having that experience is definitely going to be beneficial tomorrow.”<\/p>\n Since his lone major win in 2016, Johnson has there top-ten finishes, including a third at the 2018 U.S. Open. Now, at the PGA Championship, Johnson is in a familiar spot with the 54-hole lead.<\/p>\n Unlike in previous majors, Johnson only has a one-shot cushion. 17 players are within four shots of the lead. One of them, is Brooks Koepka, the two-time defending PGA champion. The four-time major champion is confident heading into Sunday, knowing that his pedigree at these events surpasses the 54-hole leader.<\/p>\n Food for thought as we get into the weekend of Brooks' 25th Major Championship start.<\/p>\n Fewest Major Starts Needed to Win 5 Majors:<\/p>\n Tiger Woods-> 22 — PGA Amateur Golf (@PGAAmateurGolf) August 8, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
