Dustin Johnson cards career-low 61 to vault into contention at Travelers

Dustin Johnson roared into position Saturday to keep a perfect record going.

Johnson has won in each of his first 12 seasons on the PGA Tour, joining Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to do so, but he arrived for this week’s Travelers Championship winless in this pandemic-shortened season.
