The Outlook
There isn’t a course in the world that doesn’t suit DJ’s game — hey, that’s why he’s ranked No. 1 — but links venues should negate his built-in advantage, which is, of course, his immense length off the tee. Take driver out of the hands of other top players and it helps; take driver out of Johnson’s hands and it levels the playing field. All of which should help to explain his Open Championship record, which is solid but hardly eye-popping.
