Dustin Johnson was 12 feet from his first major win on Sunday at the 2015 U.S. Open, but he missed his eagle putt on the 18th hole. He was then three feet from a playoff-forcing stroke but somehow missed that birdie putt, handing 21-year-old Jordan Spieth his second major win of the year

This is the same DJ who held a three-shot lead entering the final round of the 2010 U.S. Open and shot an 82. Some golfers have it, some don’t. Johnson has most of 'it,' but when it comes to conquering the knee-knocking moments, he doesn’t.


Spieth managed to keep his cool on No. 18 on Sunday despite having double-bogeyed the No. 17 hole and double-bogeying the 18th on Friday. He certainly made his feelings k...
