Dustin Johnson and his brother (caddie) should avoid stairs at all costs

Dustin Johnson fell down the stairs of the house he was renting for the 2017 Masters and although he definitely wanted to play in the tournament, he just couldn’t do it and was forced to withdraw.

Fast forward to this year and Johnson is on record saying that he will be staying in a one-story house while in Augusta. That’s a smart move for someone who is easily one of the favorites to win the event this year.

Fresh off a top five finish at the Players Championship, Johnson and his brother Austin are headed to Tampa for the Valspar Championship. Of course, all is not well because apparently Austin fell on some stairs and now has a cast on his left arm.

You can’t make this stuff up.
