Dustin Johnson Wins L.A. Open

Dustin Johnson easily won the Genesis Open in L.A. played on Riviera Golf Club. Johnson ran out to a big lead after a third-round 64, and then cruised to the clubhouse in the final round for a 5-shot win over Thomas Pieters and Scott Brown.  At one point he lead by as many as 8 shots in the final round.

With the win, Johnson has now won at least one event in each of his first 12 seasons on tour, and also moved up to the top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings. Johnson also climbed up to the 4th position in our Power Rankings.

Nike to Introduce Air Jordan Golf Shoes

Golf.com reports that Nike is introducing a golf version of the Air Jordan I.

Nike sneakerheads rejoice: you will soon be able to wear the iconic Air Jordan I on the golf course. Starting Friday, Nike will roll out red, black and white and white and silver versions of the Air Jordan I in a special golf edition on Nike.com and at select retailers.

The shoe will be waterproof and the sole will have soft-spikes, so these will not be good for going from playing partners on the links to two-on-two on the courts.

Will Nike next put out a Tiger Woods basketball shoe, being a basketball sneaker that looks like golf shoes with the iconic fist pump silhouette on the soles?
