PARAMUS, N.J. – Dustin Johnson could tell his 6-iron was close to perfect from the flight of the shot, where it landed and the reaction of the fans behind the par-3 sixth green.
The ball rolled around the left edge of the cup, inches from a hole-in-one.
Or were they cheering because Tiger Woods teed off on the hole ahead of them?
''I was kind of debating whether they were yelling for me or him,'' Johnson said with a smile.
Woods returned to the PGA Tour's postseason Thursday by making two birdies, two bogeys and 14 pars in a most ordinary round of even-par 71, attracting thousands of fans who kept relatively quiet.
