Dustin Johnson is a two-time winner in nine career starts at the Tournament of Champions, so he knows his way around Kapalua. But in Thursday's opening round, Johnson likely saw some spots on the course he’d never seen before.
It was an all-over-the-place round for Johnson, who is playing his first individual event on the PGA Tour since the Tour Championship last August.
Johnson missed six fairways and six greens, ranking ahead of just one player in strokes gained tee to green, a statistic that Johnson normally dominates. Three of Johnson’s tee balls ended up in the penalty area.
