On the 72nd hole of the championship Johnson hit the ball wide right into the crowd, The ball landed in a bald patch of trampled down dirt and Johnson hit the ball and eventually saved par to enter into a three way tie and a three hole playoff.

As he was coming off the 18th green thinking he was in the playoff a judge came over and told him the trampled down dirt area was actually a sand bunker and that he grounded his club for a two stroke penalty. hence, he finished 2 strokes behind the leaders and out of contention for the playoff.

The bunker didn't look like any bunker I had ever seen. It looked like a bare batch of dirt. Just a travesty.
