Dustin Johnson seems like a really likeable guy but that didn't stop the internet from crushing him for the final green three-putt that handed victory at the US Open to rival Jordan Spieth

Given we get the shakes standing over a three-footer worth mere bragging rights at our local nine-hole course, we can only imagine the pressure of a short putt when a major championship is on the line, so all our sympathies this morning are with poor Dustin Johnson. The American needed to birdie the final hole at Chambers Bay last night to force a play-off with Jordan Spieth, but a stunning second shot to the par-five green left him this 12-footer to win the tournament. dustin 1 At least one professional golfer called the shot perfectly... https://twitter.com/ArronOberholser/status/612805898243735552 dustin 2 ... leaving Johnson to hole this tricky three-footer back to force an 18-hole play-off today. The miss handed the title to Spieth, and sparked the internet's cruellest denizens to work. n82bf https://twitter.com/brandon_munie/status/612811368094416896 https://twitter.com/JeopardySports/status/612813189152157696 https://twitter.com/ethan_hagood/status/612814619271278592 https://twitter.com/Leafsfan18/status/612815656187265026 https://twitter.com/EloiseBloschich/status/612863364734136320 https://twitter.com/Benny1Button/status/612856905036353536 https://twitter.com/smithpell/status/612821303775465472 https://twitter.com/CamScheler7/status/612818382925119488 https://twitter.com/The1Shook/status/612818510566133760 https://twitter.com/hussbus18/status/612827254775681024 https://twitter.com/YinzerProbs/status/612837342798303232 https://twitter.com/NuConcept/status/612838352337793024
