On April 6, Beijing time, Dustin Johnson won the green jacket, just when the American masters was postponed to November. In other words, he didn’t keep the green jacket as long as other champions, but he felt no problem.
This topic needs to be extended. Champions can take the green jacket away from Augusta, but every year, when they come back to defend the title, they need to return the green jacket to the club.
“I accepted it for only five months,” Dustin Johnson said. “To be honest, I accepted it for only one week. I’m still the champion of the American masters.”
Dustin Johnson’s victory in 2020 relieved the pressure on him because he has long been considered to have a good chance to win the American masters. But he doesn’t mind winning again, and this time he can keep the green jacket for a year.
“When I came back as a former champion, I didn’t put much pressure on myself,” said the former world number one. “But I still want to do well. My next goal is to win another game.”
