"It was kind of a freak thing and unfortunate. But it happened."

Dustin Johnson chatted with a group of scribblers for the first time since his PGA penalty. The highlights:

Q. Have you read the rules sheet this week?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: No. I might do that. (Laughter).

Q. Wanted to know if you've talked much with the caddie about this, and will you approach it a little differently going forward?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: It's pretty -- there's not much to talk about, really. But, yeah, we've talked about it. And it was -- I mean obviously now you know when he gets to the ball, especially if I'm in a situation like that, he's going to remind me to be careful and maybe tell me that I might be in a bunker, I might need to ask somebody what kind of situation I'm in.

But it's not really much -- there's nothing that -- I can't blame him at all because he never thought we were in a bunker. I didn't either. And a lot of other people that looked at it. So I can't blame him. It's not his fault. It's my fault, if anyone's.

Q. Just to follow up, obviously there's a lot of bunkers. A lot of players have said if you were able to see in its entirety without people everywhere you may have approached it differently. Do you feel that way, too?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: It's hard to say, because it didn't happen like that. So I mean, maybe. But maybe not. It's hard to say. It was kind of a freak thing and unfortunate. But it happened.
