Teal and Bronze

Dustin Johnson

Dustin Johnson won the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania on June 19. It was the first major championship win for Johnson, who played collegiate golf at CCU from 2003 to 2007. This Father’s Day victory was particularly sweet for the CCU Hall of Famer after a runner-up finish in 2015. But 2016 was a magic year for Johnson, who also won the PGA Tour Player of the Year Award, the Arnold Palmer Award and the Byron Nelson Award.
