OAKMONT, Pa. — Dustin Johnson always gives off such an indifferent vibe. Nothing much seems to bother him. He takes things in stride, never too high or low. His comments are kept to a minimum, not so much by design as his nature.

That is a phenomenal disposition for a world-class golfer who has won two major championships and hit a golf ball with such power and precision as to make you gasp.
