Having grown up close to Augusta, the new champion’s childhood ambitions always ended with him in a Green Jacket
There is no prospect of Dustin Johnson emulating the approach of Bernhard Langer, who turned heads by making a Masters cut at the age of 63 at the weekend. Johnson, the latest member of the exclusive Green Jacket club, is planning an abbreviated career.
“I feel really good about everything that I’m doing,” said the 36-year-old world No 1. “I feel really confident in my game. My goal is to play for about – I don’t know, it keeps getting shorter – but eight, nine, maybe 10 years. Then I’ll hang out with my kids and Paulina [Gretzky, Johnson’s partner]. Until then, I’m going to work my butt off to be as good as I can be.”
