AKRON, Ohio -- Dustin Johnsons best save of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational came about 20 minutes after hed finished his final round.Already the clubhouse leader following a 4-under 66 on Sunday, the recently crowned U.S. Open champion was casually hanging out in the scoring area with his 18-month-old son, Tatum, while the final pairing was fruitlessly finishing up on the course.The flaxen-haired little boy climbed on a nearby golf cart. He giggled while throwing a golf ball. He ran -- and ran and ran and ran, as little boys do.At one point, Tatum ran straight through the grassy area, toward a road that separates it from spectators. Still a bit wobbly kneed, the boy reached the curb and appeared headed for imminent wipeout when his dad nonchalantly lunged from some 10 feet away and with a swooping paw lifted him into the air without breaking stride and without ever looking the least bit worried.Consider the scenario perfectly emblematic of Johnsons personality, one that doesnt betray him inside the ropes. Whether collapsing under the spotlight of major championship Sunday afternoons in the past or coolly clinching his first major at Oakmont Country Club two weeks ago, Johnson always appears to be playing an informal match against friends rather than a grueling top-level competition.That was the case on this occasion, too.Johnson entered the day 3 strokes off Jason Day and Scott Piercys 54-hole lead, which seems to be his preferred method of attack. For the round, Johnson posted a half-dozen birdies, with a messy bogey on the final hole just a mere formality on his way to the victory circle.Although he might have looked as relaxed as ever, Johnson admitted afterward that his recent major breakthrough allowed him to play even more carefree than hed done in similar situations before.Im definitely a little more relaxed out there on the golf course, especially coming down the stretch, he said. Today I felt I was in a really good place -- really calm, collected, just focusing on what I was doing. Just playing golf.For as proficient as Johnson is at the game, hes even better at making it look easy -- and sound easy.It wasnt that long ago when he made some fairly major swing changes. For other players, these alterations might take months, even a year, while being closely monitored by instructors offering seemingly critical feedback.For Johnson, it was as simple as just flipping a switch.As he explained in his best DJ-ese: I was just struggling with the draw to get it in the fairway, so I said, Im going to hit a fade, and I started hitting a fade.Easy game, huh?Hitting a fade wasnt the only thing he made look easy this week.Johnsons fiancée, the camera-friendly Paulina Gretzky, had to head home Friday morning, so he was doing the solo-dad thing with Tatum all weekend while sandwiching in a pair of 66s on the course.Yeah, just me and him hanging out this weekend, he said. Its perfect.After making it all sound easy, he sheepishly smiled and allowed, Well, Ive got a nanny, so that helps.The impact that fatherhood has made on Johnson shouldnt be understated. Its noteworthy that Johnsons first major championship triumph, this follow-up victory and his imminent rise to a career-best No. 2 in the Official World Golf Ranking have all come with a greater maturity level.He turned 32 years old last week, and like so many other elite players before him, Johnson is peaking while his priorities are taking a different shape.Golf isnt the most important thing anymore, he acknowledged. I dont know if that helps or hurts or what. But [Tatum] is most important, and whether I shoot a good score or a bad score, when I see him, it doesnt matter.Just as he did on the final green two weeks ago, that little boy again greeted his dad when he won on this Sunday. Johnson hugged him and played with him and laughed with him and, yes, maybe even saved him as they waited for the victory to become official. When it finally did, Tatums dad hugged him once more, then strode away to accept his trophy, making it all look so easy again.German Marquez Jersey .
