Dustin Johnson had two runner-up postings at the majors in 2019—at the Masters and PGA Championship—which puts him with seven other golfers who have finished second at least once at each major. His most notable career hiccup came during the 2015 US Open at Chambers Bay, where he 3-putted from 12 feet on the 18th to hand the title to Jordan Spieth.
