On Thursday, September 17, 2020, scores were relatively low for a US Open with Justin Thomas sitting on top of the leaderboard with a score of five under par. Rory McIlroy was just behind with a score of three under par.

These scores came from excellent tee shots all day long which helped them gain a combined 6.5 strokes off the tee to get off to a flaming hot start.

Either the course this year is playing a lot easier, or the players are much better than their peers from years past.

When the US Open was played at the Winged Foot golf course in 2006, there were only 12 rounds scored in the 60’s during the entire four days of the tournament. This year in contract, on Thursday alone there were 21 rounds in the 60s.  

As today’s final round of the US Open got underway Matt Wolff was sitting on top of the leaderboard with a score of five under par. Bryson DeChambeau was hot on his tail with a score of three under par.

The competitor in third place is even par showing the big buffer between first, second, and third place. With a majority of the final round still left to play anything can happen which is what makes the US Open an extremely special tournament.

Johnson’s was one of the lowest scores ever recorded for a tournament in the history of the PGA Tour. Some players have yet to reach thirty birdies in their career or lifetime, I know I haven’t yet.

His thirty under beat the next closest competitor by an impressive eleven strokes.

Johnson was fighting for multiple records all week, but came up short. In the end his competition was truly not even close. Johnson was playing on a whole other level!

With this victory Dustin Johnson has reclaimed his title as number one ranked golfer in the world – edging out Rory Mcilroy for the number one spot with his recent performance.

It is truly amazing to watch Dustin Johnson play whenever his game is in full swing.

Fellow PGA competitor Kevin Kisner said, “I’ve been watching it for 25 years. I’m pretty accustomed to it. When he’s on, I just step to the side and try to add to my bank account.” Whenever you leave professional golfers with that impression, you deserve the number one ranked spot.

Despite his current ranking and stellar performance last weekend, as Brooks Koepka mentioned, Dustin Johnson had previously won only one major championship.

That win occurred at the 2016 U.S. Open at the Oakmont Country Club where Johnson won with a score of four under par.

This highlights the score and level of difficulty difference between a major championship and any other tournament. It will be exciting to watch and see if he can continue to play at this high of a level, and to see how many more events he can win along the way.
