Dustin Johnson’s mother-in-law Janet Gretzky wins Idaho golf event, adds yet another title to her collection

Dustin Johnson's mother-in-law, Janet Gretzky, won the fourth net title at the ninth Showcase golf exhibition. The exhibition event, benefiting the Community Cancer Fund, took place at the Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course in Idaho.

The Coeur d’Alene event was played under the Stableford scoring system. Gretzky aggregated 57, three more than Chicago Blackhawks left wing Tyler Johnson.

As per the 64-year-old actress, this win meant a lot as her brother just had a kidney operation and was still in the hospital fighting against cancer.

She was quoted as saying, via Golfweek:

"Two days ago, my older brother Johnny had a big cancerous kidney taken out. And he’s going to fight the war and so it really hit home. A couple years ago when I was here, I had lost my sister, so it touches every family in the world.”

Janet’s husband, former Canadian ice hockey professional Wayne Gretzky, finished with 39 points.

Gretzky added that she won it for her brother, who was fighting cancer at the hospital. She said:

"I’m here playing golf and having fun and my poor brother is in the hospital fighting cancer. I did it for him this week."

While Gretzky won the net title, former left-handed starting pitcher Mark Mulder claimed the gross title at the Coeur d’Alene Resort.
