Dustin Johnson - Finally claimed an overdue major title with victory in the US Open at Oakmont in June, despite being penalised a shot in the final round when he was adjudged to have caused his ball to move on the fifth green. Won just one of his four matches in 2010 but all three in 2012, only to miss the 2014 contest at Gleneagles due to taking a “leave of absence” from the game.
