Palmetto Championship 2021: Dustin Johnson Trails by 2 Shots After 2nd-Round 68

The No. 1 golfer in the world is once again sitting close to the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend.

Through two rounds of play at the Palmetto Championship, Dustin Johnson finds himself nine under par and in second place for consecutive days. He trails current leader Chesson Hadley (11 under) by just two strokes.

The 2021 PGA season hasn't been too kind to Johnson.

After the 36-year-old finished the Sentry Tournament of Champions tied for 11th—and the following month's Genesis Invitational tied for eighth—Johnson began to struggle.

He tied for 54th at the WGC-Workday Championships, tied for 48th at The Players Championship and then missed the cut at the Masters and the PGA Championship.
