Dustin Johnson blew a great chance to win his first major by 3-putting on the final hole of the US Open at Chambers Bay on Sunday.

Johnson entered the final hole at -4 for the tournament, a shot behind Jordan Spieth, who birdied 18 to move to five under. Johnson had an eagle opportunity to win the tournament, but he missed. Then he had a birdie putt that would have tied him with Spieth and sent it to a playoff Monday, but he missed that.

Johnson tapped in for par to remain four under, which left him tied for second with Louis Oosthuizen. It was a strong showing for Johnson, but he will be remembered for his choke job, unfortunately.

Aside from 3-putting on the final hole, DJ also bogeyed 10, 11, and 13, which really hurt his round.
