major for the first time in years. Then, the second round on Friday, June 19th was a disaster after just five holes.<\/p>\n<p>After making birdie on No. 10 to move within one stroke of U.S. Open leader Windham Clark, Johnson completely lost his form and found himself in a situation where he might need a late push to get out of contention and into the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The sequence began with a double bogey on the par-3 11th, where he put his tee shot into a bunker, only to watch his subsequent bunker shot fall into the sand thanks to the tricky green at Shinnecock Hills. After consecutive bogeys, Johnson&#8217;s rounds began to fall apart.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slideshow\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<p><span class=\"slide-start\">1<\/span><span class=\"slide-end\">
