This is a story you don't find a lot on the golf page of FanHouse. Dustin Johnson, the 24-year-old sophomore on the PGA Tour who won at Pebble Beach earlier this year, was arrested for driving under the influence and booked on Monday at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center in Myrtle Beach. There has yet to be a report on what his blood alcohol level was for the resident of Myrtle Beach who attended Coastal Carolina, but as a younger gentleman that has spent a little time in that town, it sure wouldn't be hard to get pulled over if you were drinking and driving. Bars and gentleman clubs are nearly as plentiful as the golf courses and none are really close together.
This news comes as a huge bruise on an already great season for Johnson. Not only did Johnson win more than a million dollars for the victory at Pebble Beach, but he has accumulated two other top-11 finishes and is currently ninth on the FedEx Cup point list.
He's also not the first name to be associated with a DUI. Notah Begah, who played golf with Tiger Woods at Stanford, had to deal with multiple offenses that forced him to spend seven days in jail.
Johnson was released from J. Reuben Long Dentention Center at 11:50 AM on Monday, according to their website.
