TROON, Scotland – All the focus Thursday was on Phil Mickelson at The Open. Rightfully so. A lipout for a record-breaking 62 in a major championship will tend to cause quite a stir.
But Zach Johnson isn’t far behind. You know Johnson, the guy who jumped up and won The Open last year at the venerable Old Course to claim his second major championship; The guy who shot a final-round 66 to steal all the thunder from Jordan Spieth and Jason Day.
Johnson is back at it again after shooting an opening-round 67.
