WHERE TO GO: Mailbox

It's never too early to start thinking about getting tickets for next year's Masters.

The series badges are sold only to those on the patron list, which is full, but you can still apply for practice-round tickets.

To receive an application for future practice-round tickets, send your name, address, phone number and Social Security number to: Masters Tournament, Practice Rounds, P.O. Box 2047, Augusta, GA 30903.

MEET THE ROOKIE: Dustin Johnson

The 24-year-old native of Columbia is a two-time winner on the PGA Tour. Johnson shot 73 on Sunday to finish tied for 30th at 1-under-par for the tournament.

Q: Could you describe (the eagle on No. 14)?

A: I knew it was good when I hit it. I didn't know it was going in. I saw the crowd, everybody behind the green jumping up and down. I knew I made a 2, so that was pretty cool.

Q: How do you think your game matches up with this course; do you think it's a place you can contend?

A: I definitely think it's a place I will contend in the future. The more times I get to play it, the better I'm going to get.

Q: How did you deal with everything after your arrest for driving under the influence, coming into this week?

A: I knew I made a mistake, and I'm very regretful for all that. Once I'm out here, I just focus on golf. I ain't got time to focus on anything else. I've had a lot of support from family, friends, TaylorMade, adidas. It's been nice.

WHAT TO EXPECT: The majors

The first major of 2009 is now in the books, but there are still three more to go.

The U.S. Open will be held June 18-21 at Bethpage's Black Course in New York. Tiger Woods won when it was last held there in 2002.

The British Open follows July 16-19, and it will be held at Turnberry. Nick Price won there in 1994.

The PGA Championship will be held Aug. 13-16 at Hazeltine in Chaska, Minn. Rich Beem held off Woods there in 2002.
