Dustin Johnson with HILARIOUS response to how he hurt his back ahead of US PGA
Golf fans react to Dustin Johnson's funny take on how he tweaked his back earlier this season!
Dustin Johnson has admitted his slow start to the LIV Golf season was a result of 'tweaking' his back, and his follow-up response as to what caused it put a smile on his face and golf social media.
By his own high standards, former World No.1 and two-time major champion Johnson had been playing in first gear for the first four months of the year with just two top-10 finishes in six starts.
That period included a lacklustre tie for 48th at The Masters.

Fast forward to this month and Johnson is back in the winner's circle following playoff victory at LIV Golf Tulsa last week.
Speaking ahead of this week's US PGA Championship, Johnson blames a back injury at the end of January, which forced him out of the LIV Golf-backed Saudi International, as a big reason for his lethargic start to the season.

Swinging a club or picking up a kid?

DJ admitting he put his back out from shagging is the perfect way to spice up #PGAChamp week.
