Dustin Johnson wins the Masters with a record-shattering performance

AUGUSTA, Ga. — On the leader board and in the record books, the conclusion to the 2020 Masters was an absolute blowout. Dustin Johnson, the blank-faced, does-he-have-a-pulse South Carolinian with the long strides and longer drives, blew away the field by five shots. He set a new scoring record at 20 under par to close a Masters unlike any other — in the fall without fans, just for starters. Simple as that.
