Dustin Johnson: PGA Tour rookie of the year?

I could palm a basketball when I was in seventh grade," says Dustin Johnson. To shake his large paw is to feel puny, an experience akin to meeting Byron Nelson, who possessed similarly massive hands. As far as we know, though, Lord Byron couldn't dunk. Dustin Johnson can. He can dunk in street shoes, he says, or even barefoot. There is no reason to doubt him. He is 6' 4", 190 pounds and has the build of a defensive back. The sight of him on the range pounding 320-yard drives from here to the TPC at Smithereens brings about the instant realization that, thanks yet again to Tiger Woods, we have entered a new era of athleticism in golf.
