Dustin Johnson struggles in bunkers, shows poor form at U.S. Open

Dustin Johnson faced significant challenges during his second round at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills on June 19, 2026. After starting strong with a first round score of 66 and briefly holding a position at four under par, Johnson's performance declined drastically as he encountered difficulties in the sand. He recorded a quadruple bogey on the par-4 15th after a series of misplays in the bunkers. Despite these setbacks, he managed to bounce back with a birdie on the next hole, though concerns about his ability to contend for a third major title have arisen.
