It sucks to lose, admits Johnson

This week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is again billed as a ‘Celebration of Links Golf’ but there was no hiding American Dustin Johnson’s bitter disappointment declaring simply it “sucks to lose” the Ryder Cup.

Johnson, along with namesake Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner was the only three Team USA players to win their singles matches in a shock one-point loss to the Europeans.

And while the South Carolina-born Johnson was affable enough on the St Andrews practice range, he’s now determined to make amends in 2014 at Gleneagles.
