Johnson’s round unraveled at the par-4 15th, where he carded an 8 after a series of missed shots and poor recovery attempts. The quadruple bogey marked a rare moment of vulnerability for the former world No. 1, who had been in contention earlier in the tournament. His struggles continued as he failed to recover, finishing the day well off the pace.

Why it matters for Dustin Johnson

A quadruple bogey is a significant setback in any major, but for Johnson, it could prove costly.
