  3. USGA comment on Johnson-gatepublished at 02:01 British Summer Time 20 June 2016

    USGA official Jeff Hall: “Well the ball moved and we believed it was due to Dustin’s actions.

    "I was out on the golf course following some groups, so I had to make my way in to see it.

    "There were certain actions we had to analyse. The first time we had the opportunity to speak to Dustin was the 12th hole.

    "We did inform the balance of the field.

    "We decided not to review it with Dustin at the media tent on the 13th hole and instead wait till the end.”

  4. 'Yes it did'published at 02:01 British Summer Time 20 June 2016

    "It's really sweet to get that major championship," says Dustin Johnson.

    On the controversy which began on the fifth hole and became real on the 12th tee box: "At that point I just thought deal with it when I'm done. I just tried to block it out. It didn't bother me so it was definitely nice. I knew when they (officials) walked up on 12 they said they'd been watching it in the trailer but who cares, it doesn't matter any more right?

    "I just had to stay focused, try to not hit any shots I wasn't focused on. Hit fairways and greens. I stuck to my game plan. I stuck with it all week and drove it beautifully.

    "After everything that's happened to me and all thee majors there is always that little voice saying 'is it ever going to happen' and yes it did happen."

    Lowry -1 (18)

    Joint runner-up Shane Lowry speaks and the first subject under discussion is about how the controversy surrounding Dustin Johnson impacted upon him.

    "It didn't affect me much at all," says Lowry. "I just feel like I let it go today. I'm very disappointed today. The more I think about it the more upset I'm getting. It's going to be a tough few days. I led by four. I was tied for the lead with five holes to play. I am definitely good enough to win one of these.

    "This one is going to be hard to take.

    "I wish I could forget about it but I have a corporate day in Dublin tomorrow so I have to play golf. That's going to be great fun, people asking me how I let the lead slip.

    "If you'd have given me second at the start of the week I'd probably have taken it but I stand here now and I'm not happy.

    "You win some, you lose some and I'll definitely be back."

     A look back through the Dustin Johnson card shows up five bogeys and a double all week. That may not sound too flash but on this course, it's fantastic.

    Oakmont showed its teeth on times - Lee Westwood felt its force today - but Johnson smiled back at it.

    His average drive came in at 317 yards. The field averaged around 276, so for every rip off the tee he's stealing serious yardage. That's what makes him Dustin Johnson. That's what makes him US Open champion.

    The US Open champion is asked about the moment he was told he may face a one-shot penalty for seeing his ball move on the fifth green. As he does the crowd at Oakmont boo to let the rulemakers know they are not too happy with how things were handled.

    "They said we would look at it when we got done," says Johnson. "So I just tried to focus on what I was doing and not worry on the penalty stroke.

    On his shot to within three feet on 18: "It was a very nice way to finish. It may have been once of the best shots I've ever hit under the circumstance.

    "The best Father's Day ever."
