ATLANTA – Dustin Johnson is probably tired of watching Jon Rahm sink birdie putts.
Last week’s duel at the BMW Championship picked up again on Day 1 at the Tour Championship, where Rahm tied Johnson atop the leaderboard with an opening 65.
“I mean, technically it is a continuation, right?” said Rahm, who downed Johnson with an improbable 66-foot putt on the first playoff hole at Olympia Fields. “I kind of stole that tournament last week from him, and he started with a two-shot lead, so hopefully I can steal this one, as well.”
Last week, Rahm rallied from three strokes back and force extra holes.
