Dustin Johnson beaten by 13-year-old

In nearest the pin competition

Dustin Johnson may have got off to a flyer with his victory at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, but here he is just two weeks later losing to a teenager.

13-year-old Oscar Murphy took part on Thursday in a Beat the Pro challenge at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

The nearest the pin contest took place at the 177-yard par-3 15th at Abu Dhabi GC, and Murphy had to take on the group of Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood.

Murphy was not in the least bit phased, and took out a three wood which he hit perfectly to beat both Dustin Johnson and Tommy Fleetwood.
