Dustin Johnson acknowledges the crowd in the second round of the 2022 British Open. An early 67 moved Dustin Johnson to 9 under, and he'll head to the weekend ...
So those things are starting to — I can just see them trending in the right direction. Although it is unlikely to impact him either way, a win for a LIV player would be huge for the controversial circuit. “I've played some good golf, but I just haven't been able to consistently,’’ Johnson said. Still in a good position heading into the weekend.’’ I feel like I put myself in a good position going into the weekend. And doesn’t seem too concerned about missing any of those tournaments in the future.
Unbothered by the controversy around LIV Golf, Dustin Johnson is atop the leaderboard at St. Andrews.
LIV Golf and its divisive nature continue to hover on the horizon like a storm, and those associated with the Saudi-backed group have had their reputations and standings tainted in the eyes of a contingent of the sport. "If I can just keep out of the bunkers and just keep playing kind of smart golf where, when I have a good number and a club that I can get it close to the hole, I can be aggressive. To Johnson, for better and worse, it’s all Connect Four. When it comes to this championship, through two days at least, he’s got two in a row. “I've played a lot of golf since then, and that was a long time ago. Wherever you fall on the spectrum, Johnson doesn’t give a damn. There’s a belief that the poise and simplicity that have fueled his consistency backfires at the big stages. These championships require something extra, a recalibration of the situation and the moment, and Johnson has been unable—or perhaps unwilling—to break his cadence. It’s not that Johnson lacks a cognitive understanding. So explain to us how Dustin Johnson, a man who laughs in the face of nuance, is contending at the Open Championship? On that front, Johnson showed he’s still up for a fight. He can manufacture shots when he needs to, he can play this game on the ground and just as importantly he knows the difference between offense and defense. “You could play every day here for a year and you would just scratch the surface of what you can know about this place,” asserted Cameron Young, and that was after he shot an eight-under 64 on Thursday.
Dustin Johnson made a number of tweaks to his gear for the 150th Open Championship. This is a look inside his golf bag at St Andrews.
Instead of opting for a driving iron like many players this week, he decided to put his traditional blade 3-iron back in the bag and removed the 24° Stealth 9-wood that he has been using during the season. Another underrated element is Dustin’s wedge setup which only relies on two wedges beyond his set pitching wedge. The biggest change to Dustin’s setup is towards the top end of his iron set.

Also among the 24 rebels, Sergio Garcia shot five birdies and an eagle in an excellent 66 that lifted him to three under. Among those LIV players to miss the cut was Jediah Morgan on 11 over. But I think there's a way to resolve it that benefits everybody.' An intriguing element of that will be in how he handles the weekend pressure, having led through 36 holes here in 2015 before he imploded. All I try to do is focus on myself and the golf. 'I think there's a way to resolve this.
Dustin Johnson, LIV golfer, took the clubhouse lead at the British Open.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Dustin Johnson played dumb. That was clearly his strategy when asked about LIV Golf after his second-round 67 on Friday got him to ...
Earlier, Gooch defended the LIV players, saying: “The credentials of everyone speaks for themselves. When asked about Gooch saying the LIV players have banded together, Johnson further tried to separate himself, saying: “Honestly, I don’t read anything. And when Johnson finished his round Friday, there was a significant presence of LIV Golf players high on the leaderboard, beginning with himself. I think one thing that cannot be questioned is the quality of players that are there.’’ “I don’t really know what you’re talking about,’’ Johnson said when he was asked about Gooch’s comments and the LIV players supporting each other. I don’t pay attention to it.’’
DUSTIN JOHNSON had a brutal clash with Brooks Koepka in 2020 as the golf heavyweights came to blows.
But Johnson dismissed the criticism in similar style to his feud with Koepka, saying: “For me I've got more motivation to play well and work hard. He said in an explosive press conference: "I disagree with it. Responding to the comments, Johnson bluntly said: "It doesn't matter. I understand what their goals and their ambitions are in their life. Prior to the final round of the PGA Championship, Koepka said: “I like my chances. I want to come in here and play well and compete.
As the criticism continues for the breakaway LIV Golf series and its players, a number of them, including Dustin Johnson at 9 under, are finding success at ...
"I was in the moment. I just won,'" Gooch said. I don't pay attention to it." Everybody, it feels like, is against us, and that's OK. Like you said, it's kind of banded us together, I think." Their play comes on the back of criticism leveled in LIV Golf's direction from the R&A and other golfers. In all, 11 of the 24 LIV golfers who played this year's Open made the cut and will play the weekend at the home of golf.
Chief among those golfers is Dustin Johnson, the LIV Tour's top-rated golfer in the World Golf Rankings (No. 18). He ended his second round atop the leaderboard ...
8 under (4 under) 4 (4) 5 (5)
Johnson was subsequently suspended by the PGA Tour but is in The Open via several qualifying criteria, none more prominent than being the 2020 Masters champion.

Dustin Johnson semi-topped his tee shot on the 18th hole at the Old Course Saturday — and he nearly hit the famed Swilcan Bridge.
Luckily, with the conditions as they are, the miscue didn’t hurt his distance too much with the ball rolling out and ending up over 280 yards from the tee box. With the trajectory of his ball, he was threatening the local earthworm population. But instead of flying the entire distance, players have landed the ball short and let the ground do the work.
Dustin Johnson and Scottie Scheffler limped home Saturday afternoon at St. Andrews, highlighted by a near top from DJ at the 18th.

Ignorance is bliss for Open clubhouse leader Johnson, who admits he does not read about LIV Golf's controversy. ST ANDREWS, SCOTLAND - JULY 15: Dustin ...
“I think one thing that cannot be questioned is the quality of players that are there. As was the overnight rain that took the menace out of the Old Course’s baked fairways. First round leader Cameron Young rolled in a ten-footer at the last for a 69 to book a Saturday pairing alongside Smith in the final group. Johnson is a fabulous talent, among players of the modern era behind only Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson in PGA Tour victories. I feel like I put myself in a good position going into the weekend. Sergio Garcia was round in 66 on day two to reach three under par, Lee Westwood opened with a 68 on Thursday and Ian Poulter a 69. Had a lot of support the first couple of days and really can’t wait for the next couple.” There’s a lot of Aussies in the crowd, it seems like. “I spent a bit of time talking to folks back home and watched two or three before I went to sleep. He just follows the money and lets everyone else negotiate the fallout. Smith began his second round with a hat-trick of birdies, signalling an aggressive intent to make the Claret Jug his first major trophy. He carried that from into the Masters a month later where he contended early before Scottie Scheffler hit the turbo on day two.
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — As the famous cliché goes, it's not how, it's how many. And Dustin Johnson still walked away with a birdie 3 on the par-4 18th hole ...
Another bogey on the 16th hole left him nine under until the birdie bounce back on the 18th. But that’s where he essentially topped a 78-foot putt, hitting it too hard and rolling it over the green into a pot bunker. Using a fairway wood off the tee, Johnson didn’t hit the drive he expected.

But that’s where he essentially topped a 78-foot putt, hitting it too hard and rolling it over the green into a pot bunker. The commentators were quick to call it something else: “That’s a semi-top almost.” Using a fairway wood off the tee, Johnson didn’t hit the drive he expected.
Dustin Johnson may have birdied the par-4 18th in round three of the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews, but playing partner Scottie Scheffler cannot be ...
If it hadn't got that kick up in the air, it still would have gone pretty close to the green with how firm everything is, but still able to make birdie." "It carried the burn by like 10 yards. "I don't know if he topped it or not.
