I'm not really surprised though given the last 8 months of his life. The talent is still there obviously, and you saw glimpses of it this week. It seems like he's shaking off rust still. It was only last year that he won 6 events on the PGA tour, and more worldwide.

He will be back, sooner rather than later.

I still think those two knee surgery's have made him a bit more human and have taken away a bit of the edge he used to have against the rest of the field in terms of hitting the ball.

Once he gets his focus and concentration back he should be able to start winning again. But I think the days of him dominating the sport and winning multiple majors every year are gone.

Perhaps the thought of no nookie during each and every tournament has bummed him out.

No kidding, these US Open Rounds are 5 hours long.. no nookie!

Parts of my enjoy golf for the same reasons I enjoy Nascar, the wreaks! I think Johnson spent so much time talking about how he wasn't nervous that it actually made him nervous. All the guy had to do was shoot +5 in the final round to win his first major and he finishes a +11 for the day. Brutal!

I'm not sure what people expect from a guy who has had his life ripped apart the last 8 months and has only played in 5 tournaments for 2010. The guy has finished top 5 in both majors he has played this year, to me that is impressive all in itself. How would other PGA professionals would fair in the two majors if they only played one tournament a month and without a single tournament before the Masters? I'd guess it would be pretty ugly!

You play alot, how does that happen? How can you shoot 66 one day and 82 the next? What causes such a train wreck?

Even on 18 he smoked the two brilliant shots to get on the green and 3-putted for par.

Or look at Y.E Yang's card if you're bored. He was -1 after 27 holes, right in the middle of everything and then he shot 49 on the back 9 and missed the cut!
