Dustin Johnson’s prodigious playoff tee shot as told through 3 ridiculous images
If you watched Sunday’s TV coverage of the Northern Trust, you could hear the collective jaw drop of CBS’ Jim Nantz and Nick Faldo over Dustin Johnson’s prodigious drive on the first playoff hole. You also saw the ridiculous line DJ took off that 18th tee and the ridiculous spot to which his golf ball rolled. But it’s worth taking a closer look, because, again, it was ridiculous.

Let’s start with the video of the mighty blow struck by Johnson's driver that turned the long, uphill closing par 4 at Glen Oaks Club into a pitch and putt that the World No. 1 birdied to beat Jordan Spieth in a playoff. After missing right in regulation on 18 and needing to make a 20-footer to save par and force extra holes, Johnson took a much, much more aggressive aim with his tee shot the second time around:

(Photo by Ryan Young/PGA TOUR)For the most part, Glen Oaks Club's PGA Tour debut received rave reviews. Dubbed by some as “The Augusta National of the North” for its immaculate conditioning, the Long Island track proved to be a beautiful, but difficult venue for the Northern Trust. However, Kevin Kisner and some fellow tour pros weren't big fans of the course's closing par 4 — especially after it wound up determining the tournament's winner in a sudden-death playoff.

The PGA Tour instituted a new cellphone policy at the Northern Trust, with dicey results
Jamie Squire(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. — The battle between Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth on Sunday afternoon was must-see theater, the type of drama that had fans at home glued to their screens. Turns out, many in the crowd at Glen Oaks Club watched through electronic devices as well.
The Northern Trust signaled the start of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, but also the beginning of a new, adjusted PGA Tour cell-phone policy at tournaments. Spectators are now allowed to take photos and videos during on-course competition, usage that had previously been restricted to practice rounds.
Moreover, fans are allowed to share their photos and videos on whatever social platform of their choosing with tour consent, an allowance that's somewhat rare among American sports leagues. Live streaming and shot-by-shot coverage remain prohibited.
