LOS ANGELES – With a storm bearing down on the Southern California coast, Dustin Johnson was asked about the challenges of playing in difficult conditions on the eve of Thursday’s opening round at the Genesis Open.
“I played last week at Pebble, it was worse than this,” the unflappable world No. 3 shrugged. “I mean, this is actually nice compared to last week.”
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am did endure its share of weather woes, which included a hail storm, on its way to the year’s first Monday finish. But Johnson probably didn’t anticipate Thursday’s deluge that swamped Riviera Country Club and has put the tournament on track for another week of fragmented rounds.
