Dustin Johnson suffered a back injury while falling down a staircase Wednesday afternoon, remaining hopeful but not definite to tee it up this week at the 81st Masters Tournament.
DJ's manager, David Winkle, issued a statement on the World No. 1's status, "At roughly 3:00 pm today, Dustin took a serious fall on a staircase in his Augusta rental home. He landed very hard on his lower back and is now resting." He would close by saying, "with the hope of being able to play tomorrow." At this time we should treat Johnson as probable to compete this week, but gamers should be well aware of the risk that is now attached with a Johnson investment this week.
