Dustin Johnson sets a Masters record with three eagles in one round


That's a good way to make a charge up the leaderboard.


Dustin Johnson is known as one of the longest hitters on the PGA Tour and he took advantage of his length on the par-5s at Augusta on Friday. Johnson carded three eagles during his round, the first player to ever do that in Masters history.


The best of the eagles was probably his first as he made a brilliant read on his eagle putt at No. 2 to correctly play about seven feet of break on the putt.



He hit a good approach at No. 8 and sunk another nice putt. His final eagle of the day came at No. 15 when he hit a beautiful shot into the green, leaving a short eagle putt for No. 3.


Johnson was only able to card a birdie on the fourth par-5 of the course. It all added up to a 5-under round of 67 and a tie for third place. That's all despite a double bogey on No. 1.
