PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – One of the PGA Tour’s most consistent performers over the past decade, Dustin Johnson is in unfamiliar territory.

More than a year removed from his last victory.

And, at No. 9 in the world, in danger of dropping outside the top 10 for the first time in seven years.

Johnson on Wednesday blamed his relatively poor play on his driving, saying that he “must have tested 100 drivers” last year as he searched for the one that would optimize his power fade.
