World Number 1 Dustin Johnson fats iron | Worst Golf Shots | 2021 Saudi International

Dustin Johnson proved he is human after all after 'fatting' an approach during his third round in Saudi Arabia. However, he showed why he's the World Number One by still managing to make birdie.


This week’s Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisors at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club marks the final event of this year’s European Tour Desert Swing, boasting an impressive field that includes 13 Major champions and four of the World’s top ten. One of those is World Number One Dustin Johnson, who won the event in 2019. He is joined by defending champion and fellow Major winner Graeme McDowell, who defeated Johnson by two shots to win last year’s title. Fresh from victories at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic and Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, Paul Casey and Tyrrell Hatton are both set to make their tournament debuts this week. Other debutants include Tommy Fleetwood, Tony Finau, Kevin Na, and Viktor Hovland, who finished in a tie for third during his last European Tour start at the DP World Tour Championship.

"The most important shot in golf is the next one" - Ben Hogan. Fantastic 3rd and 4th shot by DJ.

Strategic lay-up so he could hit an easy wedge to 5 feet for birdie

[jamesconnolly]

Nice recovery. Bounced right back after a momentary lapse of being human.

[jonycosta]

Difference between a professional and us amateurs right there xD He didnt gave up and pulled a nice birdie still . Amateurs would finish it off with a triple bogey and a broken club probably ahah

'way of the playa' personified. Hit a poufies iron but it goes forward, shake it off, and hit the next one great. Heck, that wedge looked mighty comfortable from that distance

[ammarahmad]

thanks JD, that will make me not feel so bad on the next round, knowing theres a chance for that..

[johnnyinchi]

Can relate to that perfect layup - not the rest

The legend said: "you either hit a good or a bad shot, why waste time doing it"

[willsmith]

Nice I feel much better when I chunk my irons thanks Dustin

The more you dwell in the past, the more you actually ruin the present.

Just proves the best can make my favourite shot😞 however how he deals with it is pure class my i would be😢

[brentwafc]

I love to see this, not becuase im a bitter or petty person . Just nice to see once in a while they are human

[BlaKKoutGT]

He literally flushed it center of the face but hit behind the ball

[seizethecarp_]

His grip is pretty unique. His left thumb actually protrudes through his right hand index and thumb at impact. 0:16

When Tiger was at his best he could stop his swing when something distracted him.

One of the key course management thoughts for me was never hit 2 bad shots in a row. Dustin showed us just one of many reasons he is world #1.

[pauly]

Did DJ dirty with the first highlight!

[maximemignot]

The sound of that first shot seems very realistic

[tgolf]

And that third shot is exactly why he’s the world #1.

[lejyde]

Why is everyone saying that is relatable, I mean yes he fatted an iron, but after he pinned it to 3 feet..

I can relate to 1 of 4 shots in this video.
