Well, that sums up the shortest Masters reign in PGA history. Following a green jacket win by Dustin Johnson in November, his five-month reign has come to an end as he failed to make the cut.

With the cut line at +3, Dustin Johnson had a chance to make the cut as we hovering around that threshold with two holes to play. The 17th and 18th holes at Agusta National are some of the toughest holes on the course, and DJ, unfortunately, bogeyed both holes to finish at +5. The number one ranked golfer in the world, will not be playing over the weekend at The Masters.
Not the finish that Johnson wanted, as he came into the event as the betting favorite. Dustin Johnson hasn’t finished outside the top 10 at The Masters since 2014, and it just so happens five months after he won his first green jacket.
The Masters' is the pinnacle of golf majors. For the first time in its existence, the Masters were forced to play in late fall last year due to COVID-19. The annual event from Augusta National usually happens in the first or second week of April. It was the shortest duration between the two events.
It's the first time Dustin Johnson has missed the cut at a major since the 2018 Open Championship. If you somehow decided to bet on Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Patrick Cantlay, and Rory Mcilroy to miss the cut, then you just won unlimited money.
Heading into ‘moving day' at The Masters, Justin Rose is the clubhouse leader at -7. The 40-year-old Rose is looking to win his first green jacket and second major of his career.
