Dustin Johnson make U.S. Open trip after birth of second son

Dustin Johnson is expected to be a bit tardy this week at the U.S. Open, but he will come away a winner whether or not he successfully defends his title. His fiancee Paulina Gretzky is scheduled to give birth Monday to their second son before Johnson travels to Erin Hills, the Wisconsin site of golf's national championship, according to several people close to the world's top-ranked player.

Barring a change in schedule, Johnson will travel to Erin Hills the day after Gretzky gives birth by Caesarean section in the Los Angeles area.

Johnson spent some time at the 7,741-yard course after missing the cut at the Memorial last week in Dublin, Ohio.
