Dustin Johnson Grounds Club in Bunker
Shortly after winning his first PGA Championship, Martin Kaymer weighed in on the Dustin Johnson controversy. In an interview, Kaymer said "It was very tough to see what is a bunker and what is not a bunker," adding, "I think it's very sad he got two penalty strokes. He played great golf. He's a very nice guy."http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/pgachampionship10/news/story?id=5466021
