HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Depending on several scenarios, Monday’s world ranking could be the first since June 2016 that doesn’t include Dustin Johnson among the top 5 players in the world.
Luckily for the fifth-ranked player, his game seems to be coming around at just the right time following a second-round 66 that moved him into a tie for seventh place at the RBC Heritage. He explained after his round that it’s no coincidence that he’s playing well following a health setback last week.
Johnson said he was slowed by a knee injury prior to last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge, and missed the cut.
