Dustin Johnson had a phenomenal week at Whistling Straits. Not only was he a major contributor to the record-breaking score of 19-9, but he also set a personal best for himself! Johnson remained unbeaten through the event and ended with a perfect score of 5-0-0.

Opening up on his thoughts of the mind-blowing score, Johnson said, “I did not expect 5-0-0, that’s for sure. But I didn’t really expect to play five matches… obviously, got off to a good start and had some good partnerships there with Collin and Xander, so Captain just kept us rolling.”

In addition to the amazing victory, the post-Ryder Cup press conference was undoubtedly a highlight of the week. We witnessed an end to a long-term feud, drunken and hilarious comments, and they even managed to squeeze in a bit of emotion!

If you watched the thoroughly entertaining conference, you’ll have noticed that DJ was, in fact, a bit tipsy during the presser. His slurring speech and blatantly honest answers were a testimony to this fact.

During the presser, an interesting event happened when a journalist asked Justin Thomas if he was the emotional leader of the group.

Convinced by the nickname, DJ said, “That’s right. Grandpa got it done.”
