LOS ANGELES : Dustin Johnson's U.S. Open hopes took a hit when he racked up a disastrous quadruple-bogey early in his second round on Friday but the unflappable former champion recovered brilliantly to remain in the hunt going into the weekend.

That is when things quickly went from bad to worse for the twice major champion who is one of 15 LIV Golf members in the 156-player field this week. Johnson's fifth shot sailed over the green from where he failed to get up and down. By the time he walked off the second green Johnson had plummeted down the leaderboard, going from two shots back off the lead to six.

Johnson refused to let the third quadruple-bogey of his majors career define his day and so responded immediately with a 14-foot birdie at the third hole.
