- With 18 holes to play, Johnson sits atop the leaderboard
- Woods admits he has a finite number of major chances left
Nothing would explain the madness of golf better than a Dustin Johnson win at the US PGA Championship.
This isn’t to undermine Johnson’s status as one of the finest players in the world, as is obvious, but rather as emphasis of a bizarre spell. Johnson’s post-lockdown form guide shows a tie for 17th, a win, back-to-back rounds of 80, withdrawal from the 3M Open because of injury and four sub-70 scores in a World Golf Championship. Deciphering what he was likely to do at Harding Park, during the first major of 2020, was for the most daring of gamblers.
