US PGA Championship 2020: Finals – live! | Sports

This could be a redemption time for Dustin Johnson. Ten years ago the tall man in Whistling Straits grounded his club on a piece of sand that was last fallen. It was considered a bunker by local rules and a retrospective penalty meant he missed a play-off with Bubba Watson and eventual winner Martin Kaymer.

Then, last year at Bethpage Black, he stumbled runaway leader Brooks Koepka in one fell swoop, only to immediately return a few shots and have his compatriot broken for the bond. The PGA Championship owes him one. Yes, this could be a redemption time. He plays more than well enough, as yesterday’s wonderful nine out of 31 proves beyond any doubt. It’s on! It is … on?

On Sundays the Majors’ DJs are rarely friendly to the DJ. Also on his rap sheet: A three-putt from close range on the 18th to hand over the 2015 US Open to Jordan Spieth; One shot hit OB from the middle of the fairway at the end of the 2011 Open; This triple bogey-double bogey fall when he stumbled out of the blocks at the 2010 US Open and took a three-shot 54-hole advantage in record time. Even the one he won, the 2016 US Open, brought with it another controversial retrospective penalty. Don’t accept anything when the big man is at odds.

plus Koepka is only two away from the tour. There are plenty of other players ready to pounce too. You could stand up for just about anyone on the leaderboard who looked like this after 54 holes …
