MYSTERY AS DUSTIN JOHNSON PULLS OUT OF SONY OPEN

Dustin Johnson has withdrawn from this week’s Sony Open in Hawaii and returned to South Carolina. A relationship with LPGA player Natalie Gulbis was revealed last weekend during the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Maui.
“He sent me a text saying he had to go home and take care of a couple of personal issues,” Johnson’s agent, David Winkle, said.
Johnson tied for 16th at the 2010 Sony and 10th in 2008, the first event of his rookie season on Tour. He declined comment on his relationship with Gulbis.
