Dustin Johnson closed out his first major win at the U.S. Open with a birdie on 18. He did all this knowing he might be penalized a stroke after his ball moved on the fifth green (he was after his round). But no matter, Johnson won by three instead of four strokes. Players were not happy how the USGA handled the incident, but they were all excited for DJ:
Some great golf by @DJohnsonPGA all week, strong way to finish overcoming that rules farce. Happy Father's Day to DJ and all of you.

DJ took the high road to take that penalty. This ordeal cannot be overlooked because of a multiple shot victory

That was an incredible display of golf @DJohnsonPGA. Absolute stripe show and short game exhibition considering all distractions. Well done!

Maybe we could come up with the top 100 dumbest rules in golf and show the USGA R&A their "upholding the game" isn't working #anchoredputter
