No one could beat Dustin Johnson a year ago. Now he can't beat anyone in the Match Play.

The world's No. 1 player was eliminated from his group Thursday when he lost, 4 and 3, to Adam Hadwin of Canada. Johnson lost to Bernd Wiesberger in the opening round.

This is Johnson's last tournament before the Masters.

His elimination paves the way for Justin Thomas to reach No. 1 in the world if he can win the Match Play this week
