DETROIT – Famous for carving up the longest holes on a given tournament venue, Dustin Johnson was undone by the shortest ones during his opening round at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Johnson birdied each of his final two holes to finally get under par at Detroit Golf Club, but on a day when 9 under took the lead and most of the field broke par, a 1-under 71 didn’t do him any favors. Johnson’s issues stemmed from two par-3s, where errant shots led to difficult pitches and ultimately double bogeys. Johnson needed two swipes to get over a greenside bunker on No.
