James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Dustin Johnson was poised to send the 2015 U.S. Open to a playoff, but this putt ensured Jordan Spieth would be the champion. Johnson missed an earlier eagle putt that would have won, but everyone in attendance thought this was going to be a gimme.

What a heartbreaking moment.
