Johnson in share of Canadian Open lead; Day three back (Reuters)

(Reuters) - World number two Dustin Johnson eagled the final hole to earn a share of the lead with fellow American Luke List after the first round at the RBC Canadian Open on Thursday.

Johnson sank a 12-foot putt at the par-five 18th to cap a roller-coaster afternoon round that also included seven birdies, a bogey and double-bogey at sun-baked Glen Abbey Golf Club outside Toronto.

"I drove it in the fairway a bunch. That was definitely very helpful," the U.S. Open champion told Golf Channel after signing for a six-under-par 66 and a one-shot lead.
