Most Disappointing Season

Dustin Johnson

2015 was supposed to be the year of Dustin Johnson. It was supposed to be the year he finally broke that barrier and grabbed his first major. Sure, he won the WGC-Cadillac Championship, but his ultimate goal of winning a major was an utter failure.

His best showing came at the Masters, but unfortunately it was a bad time because Jordan Spieth had other plans. With Spieth running away with the thing, DJ settled tied for sixth and moved on to Chambers Bay for the U.S. Open.

Johnson started off on a high note, tearing up the course that drew so much criticism in the first round. He put himself in contention entering the final round of America’s major, but we all remember what happened there. Failing to close out on the final hole, DJ missed a 3 footer to tie the lead, handing the trophy to Spieth.

He saw a share of the lead at The Open Championship, but posted back-to-back 75s on the weekend to finish T-49th and his worst finish at a major all season. Dustin headed to Whistling Straits and saw a first round lead at the PGA Championship, but couldn’t make anything happen and tied for 7th.

Normally this major season wouldn’t be bad on paper, but considering the circumstances and as much as Johnson was in contention, he should have grabbed his first major.

In his first two rounds of the majors this season, DJ is 26-under. For the weekend rounds at majors this season, he’s 3-under. He needs to figure out how to turn his first two rounds into his weekend rounds and he will get that maiden major.

Until then, he’ll join Sergio Garcia as the best to never win a major.
