Johnson out of PGA Championship playoff

Golf Betting Lines

08/15/2010 - Kohler, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dustin Johnson was given a two-stroke penalty after his round on Sunday and that knocked him out of a playoff for the PGA Championship.

"I don't know if I can describe it," Johnson told CBS' David Feherty Sunday. "Walking up there, seeing the shot, never once did it cross my mind it was a sand trap."

Johnson held a one-stroke lead on the 18th tee Sunday and pushed his drive into the gallery on the right. His ball landed in a small sandy patch and he grounded his club before pulling his shot well left of the green.

He pitched to seven feet and if he would have made it, he thought that would've been for the title. Johnson missed and thought he was headed to a playoff with Bubba Watson and Martin Kaymer.

"The only worse thing that could've happened is if I would have made that putt," Johnson said.

When Johnson walked off the green, he was greeted by a PGA official. Johnson and playing partner Nick Watney sat in the scorer's tent for several minutes before it was determined that Johnson was getting a two-stroke penalty for grounding his club.

"If it was up to me, I wouldn't have thought I was in a bunker, but it's not up to me," Johnson said.

"That was an area that was designed and built as a bunker," PGA official Mark Wilson said.

Johnson ended up with a one-over 73 and missed the playoff by two strokes.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
