There are a lot of other guys that are very good. I don't think that it's a big secret that Dustin has failed to closed the door a number times. He's said it himself.

It's hard to understand how a guy can be win 26 tournaments and be in position four or five different times in majors and fail to close.

I have all the respect in the world for him as a player and as a person but that doesn't mean that he's perfect. As I said he seems to either destroy the field and the gold course as he did yesterday and in Boston or blows a big lead on the final day in a major as he has done several times.

A the US Open at Pebble Beach in 2010 he had a three stroke lead after 54 holes and shot 82 on Sunday.

He was tied for the lead after 54 holes at Chambers bay in 2015 and bogeyed three of the final four holes.

2018 at Shinnecock he was tied for the lead after 54 and three putted four times in the last nine holes

There are a few more.

Then he looked great winning the US Open and was incredible winning the Masters.
