Dustin Johnson has been known to say some things during press conferences that make people chuckle.
Well, he did it again Wednesday while talking to the media at the PGA Championship— which starts Thursday at Oak Hill in Rochester, N.Y.—and he had everyone feeling a little awkward about it at the same time.
Johnson, who is married to Paulina Gretzky and has won two major championships in his career, was asked about a back injury he suffered earlier this year. Things went off the rails when a reporter asked him if the injury happened while he was picking up a kid.
Here was his answer:
