Why Did Dustin Johnson's Brother Jump In The Water To Retrieve His Ball?

Got all of that? Basically, if, say, your ball rolls into water and you retrieve it, you need to find your exact ball at the risk of a two-stroke penalty.

That’s why Dustin Johnson’s brother, Austin, jumped into the water at TPC Sawgrass on Friday to fish out Dustin’s ball. Somehow, it rolled into the water, and because Dustin Johnson understands that fewer strokes are good, he wanted to get it back. So he and Austin (who doubles as his caddy) started looking.

Austin must have seen the ball while it was in the water, because the dude took one for the team and jumped in without taking his shoes off. It took him a second, but he managed to find the ball somewhere in the water and got it back to his brother.

The best part was Dustin managed to make par on this hole even though his brother went on a fishing expedition to get his ball back. At the very least, Dustin owes Austin, like, a steak dinner or something.
