DJ parred his last seven holes to shoot 60 (-11) on day two at The Northern Trust
Social Media Reacts After Dustin Johnson’s “Disappointing” 60
Dustin Johnson may well have carded the most disappointing round of 11-under-par in history on day two of The Northern Trust.
The former World No.1 shot the lowest ever nine hole score to par of nine under (27) at TPC Boston and incredibly was 11 under after 11 holes.
On a day where Scottie Scheffler shot the 12th sub-60 score in PGA Tour history, DJ looked destined to at least match that or perhaps go one or two better.
However, the 21-time PGA Tour winner parred his closing seven holes to ‘only’ shoot 60 and take a two stroke lead into the weekend.
We’re not exaggerating when we say that he could have shot 57.
DJ narrowly missed a 10 footer on the 17th to reach 12 under for the day and he was then forced to lay up on the par-5 18th after missing the fairway.
The Sky Sports commentary team were critical of his tee shot on 18, where a 3 wood would have still easily allowed him to reach the green in two.
Johnson admitted afterwards that perhaps 3 wood was the right club.
After laying up and wedging on, he found himself with just over 23 foot for the magical number and it ran by, leaving him a tap-in for 60.

DJ shooting a disappointing 60 might be the best possible summation of his entire career.

Seriously considering making everyone mad by insisting that DJ choked by shooting 60
— Shane Ryan (@ShaneRyanHere) August 21, 2020
This dude fires 60 and the universal response is going to be, “hey DJ what the hell happened?!” Golf is a very strange sport.
— Shane Bacon (@shanebacon) August 21, 2020
Oh DJ. 🤷♂️6️⃣0️⃣

That is one crazy way to shoot 60 for DJ. it’s going to be weird to be … disappointed?!

Laying up from 213 yards from an iffy lie with the ball 6 inches below his feet and hazard short of the green was absolutely the right call.
2nd shot wasn't the issue. Issue was pulling driver off the tee and/or execution on his 75 yard 3rd shot. pic.twitter.com/MdFNBvUepZ

Would be the most disappointing 60 ever

Surely — SURELY — no one has ever parred the last 7 holes to shoot 60? pic.twitter.com/l5M43AvUW8

DJ. Par machine.

DJ misses his 20 odd footer for his 59. "Only" a 60 then! #golf
— Golf Predictor ⛳ (@GolfPredictor) August 21, 2020
Why have the second 59 of the day when you can have the worst 60 of all-time? Love him. Absolutely love him.

DJ shoots 60 and I’m disappointed and taking myself to bed 🤷🏼♀️
— Sophie Walker (@SophWalks) August 21, 2020
Dustin Johnson just shot 60 and quite literally left shots out there…
— Sam Scherman (@sscherman) August 21, 2020
"Dustin Johnson shot a disappointing 60 today" is somehow the most on-brand statement of the man's career
— J.D. Moore (@Jordan_Dallas) August 21, 2020
Lots of us broke folk criticizing Dustin Johnson, a superstar millionaire who shot a 60 in a professional golf event. pic.twitter.com/FHXkeeU3Sq

Dustin Johnson with the most disappointing 60 you’ll probably ever see
