Emotional Dustin Johnson lives out his US Masters dream in record-breaking style

“It’s a dream come true. You know, as a kid I always dreamed about being a Masters champion … It’s hard to talk,” Johnson said, apologising for his uncharacteristic emotion

Bubba Watson stood among the thousand or so people around the 18th green in his green jacket, waiting to give Dustin Johnson a hug and a message as he walked off with a few tears in his eyes and the all-time Masters scoring record in his pocket.

“Welcome to the club,” Watson said to the new host of April’s Champions Dinner.
