Dustin Johnson

  • Dustin Johnson hit a drive 489 yards at the Dell Match Play event, longest drive ever recorded on the PGA Tour

  • It turns out there are two catches: DJ got some help, and the record won’t count.

Bubba Watson won the WGC – Dell Match Play event on Sunday, one of the most popular stops on the PGA Tour since it moved to Austin Country Club in 2016.
