DUSTIN JOHNSON PENALTY CAUSES HIM TO MISS OUT ON PLAYOFF

They say common sense is very uncommon and that was certainly the case at the PGA Championship on Sunday as Dustin Johnson failed to qualify for a playoff to determine the champion on Sunday.

Johnson grounded his club in a 'bunker' on the 18th hole and that's a two-stroke penalty.  The infraction was such that the television announcers didn't catch it, the PGA official walking with Johnson didn't catch it, and I don't imagine any other golfer watching on TV would have given it a second thought either.
