“I never thought I was in a bunker,”  Dustin Johnson

SHEBOYGAN, WI (Hollywood Today) 8/16/10 –  The golf professionals had their work cut out for them this past weekend at Whistling Straits Country Club on the shores of
Lake Michigan.  The final major tournament of the year, The PGA, proved to be very challenging on this beautiful course.  The winds circulated about 25 miles an hour and balls were flying everywhere.
Certainly a “Dire Straits” whirlwind so to say.  Players were
definitely rocking and rolling down sides of hills and valleys.

However, in the end, it was Martin Kaymer who held on after a sudden
death playoff with Bubba Watson.  They were both tied at eleven under
after regulation .  Dustin  Johnson was at twelve under  and
unfortunately was docked a two stroke penalty when PGA officials
figured out he grounded his club in what the course deemed a bunker.
Dustin and his caddie, Bobby Brown, were stunned to learn about the
hazard.  Both men felt it was a flattened dirt patch that the many
spectators walked over.  “I never thought I was in a bunker,” Johnson
said.  Martin Kaymer, the eventual winner, was shocked and very sad
that it happened .

Kaymer became only the second German to win a major, he moved up to
No. 5 in the world rankings.  Zack Johnson and Rory Mcllroy both
finished at ten under.
