The year-old is finally a major champion after winning the U.

Open on Sunday with an overall score of four under par. But much like Johnson's other performances in major tournaments, it came with controversy, as Johnson's ball moved on the fifth green before he attempted a par putt. After he reached the 12th tee, USGA officials told Johnson they would review the situation at the conclusion of his round, which ultimately led to a one-stroke penalty.

That turned out to not matter, as Shane Lowry, the leader entering the final round, shot six over to fall into a tie for second place at one under overall. As the final round continued, many notable names in the golfing world rushed to Twitter to support Johnson and criticize the USGA:. No penalty whatsoever for DJ.
