WATCH: Dustin Johnson hits huge (!) hosel rocket at LIV Golf's $50m finale
Dustin Johnson hit one of the biggest hosel rockets of his career in his match against Phil Mickelson at LIV Golf's $50m team championship.
Dustin Johnson hit likely one of the biggest shanks of his career en route to defeating Phil Mickelson in the semifinals of the $50m LIV Golf team championship.
Johnson eventually saw off Mickelson 2&1 at Trump National Doral in Miami but he was pushed all the way by the six-time major champion.
His shank arrived on No. 15 when he was 1UP. Mickelson rolled in a birdie putt at the short par-3 but Johnson responded, winning the next two holes at 16 and 17 to defeat Lefty.
