dustin johnson fall at his house today

been told not to move about and rest

on sky

Look at the drift

Will only be able to hit it 350 yards instead of 450!!!! Ffs that's my luck at present. Been backing him for ages for this with 12,s and 14's at some bookies.

on strong anti-imflammatory meds

10 soon........anything but the back........

ok 12 soon.

Anyone told Theserbian

sounds rather bad but who knows

bookmakers still not caught up

Theserbian: "Totally agree people have differing opinions,but to suggest DUSTIN Johnson misses the cut is laughable,there's more chance of me winning Miss World!!!! "

Better dust off that frock son

Sex change and a frock for theserbian.
Post a pic.

Wee Rory the new fav.

At least he'll have an excuse if his big bet goes down.

Price dropping again? Not sure on the rules of golf betting but if he pulls out is it money back?

all bets on betfair are voided if he doesnt start, assume its the same with the bookies

basically they will be hugely down before the event even starts as there is no concept of a rule 4

white lining

and he was 13%-15% of the market

what about if he starts, plays a few holes then drops out ?

DJ bet is a loser.

If he starts then the bets is live.  If he withdraws after a few holes it is a loser.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Dustin Johnson's manager says the world's No. 1 player has taken a serious fall on a staircase on the eve of the Masters.
David Winkle of Hambric Sports says in an email that Johnson fell on the stairs of his rental home in Augusta on Wednesday. He says Johnson landed hard on his lower back and is resting with discomfort.
Doctors have advised Johnson to remain stable and start taking anti-inflammatory medication.
Winkle says Johnson hopes to be able to play in the Masters when it starts on Thursday.

if your on you might be best served with a withdrawl as any other bets on the masters will be quids in

I hope Rory remembers to send Justin a "thank you" note.

Remember when Steffi Graf always had a bad back before Wimbledon

I don't remember her having a serious fall down a flight of stairs on the eve of Wimbledon.

It would be funny if Dustin turned up tomorrow and didn't know he had an injury.  Best "fake news" ever.

Some thoughtful analysis in this news report.
"He “hopes” to play in the opening round but if he misses that it’s hard to see how he could play any part in the competition."

Off at 2.03 pm so a bit of time on his side for some treatment.

The trouble is you just don't know what they mean by "serious"

Generally the wider population thinks it means having considerable difficulty walking/moving such as with a broken bone.

Sportspeople have different definitions.

Brufen, rest it, see the physio in the morning.

Bad luck,strange happenings do seem to follow the big fella around! His agent should get fired if marble stairs and not six inch plush carpet!

Unbelievable turn of events. Feck I love Masters week

certainly upped the betting on win market!hugely!

I've got a theory about this. I don't reckon he fell down the stairs at all.

I think he's got problems with his back in general like a lot of these hard hitters (tiger, day) and doesn't want to admit to it.

just my luck anyway that I happened to back him today. bet he plays and pulls out after two rounds limping

Could it be some people around him are avoiding him having to do numerous tedious interviews, sponsors commitments etc to allow him to get into complete focus.  Have the clever people around DJ used an innocuous trip to their advantage?

And I get p*ssed off when my horse falls!!

Straight out of the JDay playbook.  Expect him to wince and back-clutch his way to an 8 shot victory.

He pulled out a few yrs ago with bad back im sure??Jetski acident or something similarly dumb!

certainly it seems very strange and a massive coincidence that supposedly the best athlete in the sport should fall down a flight of stairs the very day before the biggest tournament in his life.

maybe it is indeed a mental thing. Maybe the pressure of being the huge favourite and everyone telling him he's going to win and he's thought "I can't handle this"

He seems to be moving ok of late so probably my original theory about him having a bad back was wide of the mark. But there's something very strange going on. I don't buy the flight of stairs story for one moment.

"Johnson also missed the 2012 Masters, withdrawing two days before the start of the tournament, saying he had tweaked his back from pulling a jet ski out of the water. Golf.com cited an unnamed source two years later as saying Johnson had been suspended for a positive cocaine test"

Maybe he's back on the juice

Another thing I noticed earlier when watching the bbc preview was tiger striding into the clubhouse with no back problems at all. And we're supposed to believe from various reports that he's a virtual cripple.

again with most of these stars most of them problems are mental. they create these injuries or blow them up in their own mind to take the pressure off, to give them an outlet.

anyway I would be looking away from DJ now even if does line up and look at more mentally tough competitors like mcilroy and spieth. seems he's given up before it's even started.

I have him to win Masters at a very nice price..
Here is hoping that he tees it up to give those that backed him like me a run for their money ..as they say beware the injured golfer

Beware the injured golfer?

whats happens with long-term bets if he pulls out?

I haven't got a bet on Johnson, but I noticed earlier that with one bookie, betwin, I placed a bet and on the screen it says "Antepost Tournament Winner (All bets stand)"

I assumed with golf bets you always got your money back if they didn't run?

should have said don't have a long-term bet on Johnson, I did bet him today down the local shop

maybe it is indeed a mental thing. Maybe the pressure of being the huge favourite and everyone telling him he's going to win and he's thought "I can't handle this"

So he decided to throw himself down a staircase

no, my theory is it's possible that the fall story is a smokescreen

as I said seems rather a coincidence that apparently the best athlete in the sport is falling down some stairs the day before the masters

wasn't there some jetski story some years ago that caused him to withdraw just before the masters as well

If he WDs then any conspiracy theory has to be powder related.

We know he's thick as pigshit but could he not wait until Sunday night ? He had last week off to test his nostrils.

Maybe just doing some quality control Frames. Ahead of a big night you want to be assured the merch is up to standard.

I agree with rhino...his partner and mother of his child is a notorious substance abuser..Dusty was/is a party animal
with a fondness for the devils dandruff...I hope he plays and our fears are misplaced.

I don't buy the cocaine stories. if he was suspended before it seems more likely to be peds. brushed under the carpet as the powers don't be don't want to admit to a doping culture in the sport.

might explain as well why he's smashing the ball almost 400 yards down the fairway

Never tried Devils dandruff for many reasons, however the older I get the more I think I may have missed something

Never too late bobby

was hoping some of the more esteemed forumites would let me into its effects before I tried it
Care to start rhino

You will talk sh1te like a world champion and be convinced that everybody wants to hear your every word. You won't be able to feel your face (in a good way). Too much and even if it was Paulina butt naked and legs spread in front of you, execution will be extremely challenging. Almost like short siding yourself and having no green to work with, only the great ones will get it up and in

Right, now I'm even more uncertain as to what I should do.
Do I try it or not rhino, yay or nay would suffice

Money starting to pile back in for him - has he fallen back up the stairs?

headline sunday

DJ back to back win

From my view his manager would never have put the story out if his participation was not in doubt . I think they will go to the range and test it out and maybe he will take to the first green and see how it goes. Certainly he does have an issue otherwise as stated his manager would never have said anything.

Ive laid him for a small ammount top 20 finish in case he starts and retires to cover some of my money in other markets.

This just put on twitter  5 mins ago....

According to Dustin Johnson’s manager there is nothing new to report this morning on DJ's condition & they are hoping for the best.

playing with bubba wont help

Reports that Dustin Johnson is going to the range to see if his back is OK to play.

"they are hoping for the best"

That says he will possibly take his chance and retirement is in the plan if not all well.

Its all 50/50 and i guess you take your chance.

Why would you play with an injury and risk more serious damage?

drifting further 10.5

1.91 to lay top20

no prices DJ LAY top20

cetain books not betfair are likely to return stakes if he starts then retires

does anybody else think this is all a bit dodgy? There is form.

johnson going to do warm up and decide if he can play

then decide

any sign of a wheelchair

UP-DATE PLEASE...is the lad ok (beware the injured golfer and all that ???)

he playing with tender back

ON MEDS I presume.....Not good news.....Strange that he's still as low as 8/1 (just checked Odds)

18s
OB Sports Golf Mgmt‏ @OBSportsGolf
#BREAKING - Dustin Johnson heard on camera telling ESPN's Tom Rinaldi "I'm gonna try..." to play in first round of @TheMasters.

nr

shocker

freak accident

Is he declared a runner on the exchanges?

no bets will be void

Did he hit a shot ?

didn't turn up

great for everyone who backed other players with the books - effectively 12% free money!

I guess there'll be deductions applied on the exchange??

HATE TO OWN THAT HOUSE HE STAYED IN.........need a very good lawyer imvho

socks - wooden stairs/floors
