Dustin Johnson doesn’t have a top-10 on the PGA Tour in nearly four months. He missed the cut in his Masters title defense and missed the cut in his most recent start, the PGA Championship.
His putter hasn’t cooperated much this year – putters, actually – but to have watched him, you would have notice his game, on the whole, has been a little off since his second major triumph in November.
Thursday, however, things came together. He drove the ball well, hit his share of greens, got up and down every time when he didn’t, and made enough putts to shoot 6-under 65 in the opening round of the Palmetto Championship at Congaree.
