Dustin Johnson might have been winning off the course for years, but now he's killing it on the course especially after securing his first major win at the 116th U.S. Open Championship at Oakmont. After a devastating runner up finish last year, he was able to put his demons behind him and win by 3 shots.
DJ took home a cool $1.8 million ($2.4 million aud) for the win! After his four rounds totaled 276 shots including his controversial one shot penalty, DJ was paid a insane $6521.73 ($8746aud) per shot! This doesn't not even include his sponsors like Taylormade, Adidas, Net Jets and many more.
