Six weeks away from competition did not keep Dustin Johnson from extending one streak Thursday, with hopes of adding to another. Johnson showed more game than rust at the Wells Fargo Championship, where he missed only two greens — and plenty of putts — for a two-under-par 70 that left him four shots behind the leader Francesco Molinari at blustery Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington, N.C. It was Johnson’s 13th consecutive round at par or better.
Johnson was not as flawless as he looked while winning three straight tournaments, though he had few complaints under the circumstances.
