Dustin Johnson has vowed to learn from past experiences as he aims to clinch his first major title at the Masters. Johnson fell agonisingly short at the US Open last year, conceding the title to Jordan Spieth with a three-putt, before two consecutive rounds of 75 ended his hopes at The Open in July.But the world No 9, who has recorded three top-10 finishes from his last four tournaments, is confident he can learn from his past experiences and break his major duck. Zach Johnson has brought along the Claret Jug he won at The Open in St Andrews last year I still feel like my times coming, said Johnson. Ive just got to keep putting myself in position to have a chance to win. One of these days I will get it done.I dont look at any of them as scar tissue. I try to take every situation, good or bad, and just try to learn from them and use the experience that I had. You know, even like last year at the U.S. Open, to me, that gives me a lot of confidence; if Im in that situation on Sunday, I know I can get it done.This year, I feel like Im coming in with a pretty solid game. I feel like every part of my game is improving. I felt like Ive got a lot of confidence in every part of my game right now, especially with my wedges. I think thats something thats going to help me around here.You know, I think short game and putting is the key around here. I feel like I hit the ball pretty well most of the time. I think if I chip and putt it well, bunkers well, then Im going to compete and have a chance to win on Sunday.

This one, I take the week off, because of what I do at home.The superintendent, what he does to the course.... its not Augusta, but we make it extreme, and that helps when I get here.

Its a different type of grass, but speeds speed. He actually did some other things around the greens to try to mimic here, but it was even more extreme.Johnson, who has had a mixed bag of results this season finishing fifth in the Arnold Palmer invitational but missing the cut at the Honda Classic, declared that he always feels inspired when he steps out onto Augustas fairways.As he prepares to compete in his 12th Masters, the American has brought along The Opens prized Claret Jug as an extra lift. I saw the Claret Jug last night for the first time in a long time, he added. Staring at that thing and touching, it gives you a lift.My team, if you will, of individuals, guys that I certainly trust - coaches, what-not - have had it (the Jug in their possession). I did get it back this past evening. Thats what its about. I want it to be shared.Youre talking about two of the biggest, iconic symbols in sports. To have that honour to don the (Masters) Green Jacket and drink out of the Claret Jug is pretty special. Im still in awe and pinching myself knowing Ive got one of each. Green Bay Packers Shirts .
