Filed under: PGA, PGA ChampionshipSHEBOYGAN, Wisc. - Golf's big fat rule book flattened Dustin Johnson on Sunday. What happened on the final regulation hole will probably make Johnson the most sympathetic figure this side of oil-drenched pelicans.
Hold the tears, please.
Johnson's a bonehead, not a victim.
"Maybe I should have looked to the rule sheet a little harder," he said.
Ya think?
In case you missed the fun at the PGA Championship, Johnson had just backed into a playoff by bogeying the final hole. Then a strange thing happened as he walked off the green.
A rules official told Johnson he grounded his club as he prepared to hit his second shot on the 18th hole. That meant a two-shot penalty would be assessed.

So long playoff. So long dream of winning a major championship.
All over the fact his club touched a little dirt before he swung?
