Top-ranked defending champion Dustin Johnson barely spent five months with his green jacket -- during a Covid-19 pandemic no less -- but it`s time to keep it exclusively at Augusta National. Johnson won last year`s Masters with a course-record 20-under par 268 last November after the tournament was delayed from April due to the pandemic that has limited his moves with the famed apparel. "Probably the coolest thing was wearing it when I was here like having dinner," Johnson said.
"I didn`t really wear it anywhere. "I haven`t had it for that long, so didn`t do a whole lot of things, especially with Covid and all, not like we`re really doing much. But I enjoyed wearing it while it was here." Augusta National rules say winner`s green jackets must be kept at the club, except the reigning champion gets to take his where he likes until the next Masters. The only way Johnson will get more time outside Augusta National will be to win again, and while he has the long-driving game to make it happen, even he admits how tough that will be.
